The Renegades of Pern by Anne McCaffrey

On the dragon-filled world of Pern, where the deadly silver Thread rains down from the skies, survival demands courage, skill, and unity. But not all who live beneath the dragons’ wings follow the same path. “The Renegades of Pern” follows those who live beyond the protection of the Weyrs — wanderers, outcasts, and rebels who dare to defy tradition. As ancient secrets emerge from Pern’s forgotten past, their destinies intertwine with the fate of the planet itself. Anne McCaffrey delivers an epic tale of adventure, rebellion, and discovery that expands the beloved Dragonriders saga.
