The dragons of Pern must breathe fire to defend their world – and in order to do that, they must chew on a mineral called firestone. Mining firestone is one of the most hazardous jobs on the planet, and is often done by the Shunned, people who have committed crimes against the community and are thus considered expendable. When mine #9 explodes, killing the miners trapped inside, young Cristov volunteers to take over the dangerous chore of mining for firestone. What he doesn’t realize is that there was a survivor among the miners who had been working mine #9: his own father, Tarik. Can Cristov and his father reconcile at last? Will they survive the dangers of mining the explosive rock, or will the dragons’ flame be forever extinguished, leaving Pern defenselesss against Thread?
