Synopsis

In the world of Pern, a unique bond blossoms between the young Lord Jaxom and his extraordinary white dragon, Ruth. Deemed a runt by many, Ruth possesses abilities far beyond his peers: not only can he communicate with the iridescent fire lizards, but he can also fly back in time with unerring precision. This remarkable talent, coupled with his pure white scales and incredible agility, sets him apart. While others dismiss Ruth, Jaxom recognizes his dragon's exceptional potential. In secret, they train rigorously, preparing to face the menacing 'burning threads' from the Red Planet and mastering Ruth's ability to travel through time and 'Between' dimensions. Their unparalleled, symbiotic union ultimately leads them to an astonishing and pivotal discovery that will redefine the history of Pern, cementing their place as legends in the world-famous Chronicles of Pern.
