Long ago, when the Pernites still vaguely remembered their past—when they migrated from the Southern Continent—and even suspected that they came to the South from another world; long ago, when the old knowledge survived in the Records, an epidemic came to Pern. The Great Plague threatened either to destroy the planet’s population or plunge it into savagery and ignorance. And once again Pern was saved by the courage of the winged and the wisdom of the masters. M’reta’s feat was sung by minstrels in many ballads. But none of them says what truly happened in those dreadful days…
Now you will learn what happened—following the legendary Lady Weyr M’reta and reading Nerilka’s notes, the daughter of Lord Fort Hold.
