*The final novel in the legendary, bestselling fantasy series from the Hugo and Nebula Award winning author, featuring dragons, adventure, romance, and heroism, perfect for fans of Rebecca Yarros' * Fourth Wing,Cassandra Clare and Brandon Sanderson. When Lessa chose a dragon over her birthright, the hold she was to have inherited passed to Lord Jaxom instead.**But Jaxom then muddied generations of Pern tradition by impulsively Impressing Ruth, a small, white dragon, as a child.

From that moment on, the debate has raged: Is Jaxom now a dragonrider, or a lord holder?

All anyone agrees on is that he cannot be both.

Now, with Jaxom on the cusp on adulthood, the thing he and Ruth most desire is to fight Thread side-by-side with the larger dragons. Jaxom knows what his dragon is capable of, and now that he is - mostly - grown, he is determined to buck tradition.** Can this teenage rebellion be the key to both Pern's salvation and winning the woman of his dreams?**
