Piemur was in Southern Hold, after running away from Harper Hall, doing surveying (and a bit of spying on the Weyr) for the MasterHarper. He is starting to get the feeling that something is up at the Weyr but other things are preoccupying his Master's thoughts as rumor's about an attack on Jaxom are starting to take a more ominous tone so Piemur doesn't push his views too much.
And then the unspeakable happens and Ramoth's queen egg is stolen off the hatching grounds at Benden Weyr. Dragons and their riders are ready to start a war on the Southern Weyr when the egg is mysteriously returned. Piemur doesn't know who did it as he has returned to the North to try and find out more about what people may be trying to do to Jaxom and of course, being Piemur, he finds much more trouble than he expected.
The first book with the characters first created by Anne McCaffrey in many years as Gigi McCaffrey takes up the tales of her mother's characters. This is really the retelling of part of the events from The White Dragon but from Piemur's perspective rather than Jaxom's and gives much more depth about what was going on in Southern Weyr during that time period. I felt that Gigi did a good job with the voices of most of the characters and it definitely felt like a return home reading it. I hope to read more books from her.
