It's two books. "Moreta" tells the story of a dragonrider, Moreta, who dies to save Pern. "Nerilka" is the same story but through the eyes of a healer who loves the Holder who loves Moreta. It's set ~ 600 (?) years before the time of the Dragonquest/ Dragonflight/ White Dragon series happens: the song that gives Lessa her clue so she can save Pern is called the 'Lament of Moreta' or 'Moreta's Ride' or something like that... I love the subtle tie between the two sets of books and how the facts in the legend have been tweaked over time...Originally posted by Aspen and Misty
I javn't read about Moreta/Nerilka duo is that whats the book is called?
My fav. would be The White Dragon, I'm just in LOVE with Ruth
...
White Dragon is good: my favorite character is Jaxom, Ruth's rider, though. Hopelessly human-centric of me.
Are runner-beasts horses or camels? Every time I convince myself they're horses, I start second guessing myself again.
