Dragonriders of Pern: Book 11 - 1st printing. By Anne McCafferey. As long as the people of Pern could remember, the Holds had protected them from Thread, the deadly silver strands that fell from the sky and ravaged the land. In exchange for sanctuary in the huge stone fortresses, the people tithed to their Lord Holders, who in turn supported the Weyrs, whose dragons were Pern's greatest weapon against Thread. But not everyone on Pern was part of that system of mutual care and protection, particularly those who had been rendered holdless as punishment for wrongdoing. And there were some, like Jayge's trader clan, who simply preferred the freedom of the roads to the security of a hold. Others, like Aramina's family, had lost their holds through injustice and cruelty. For all the holdless, life was a constant struggle for survival. Then, from the ranks of the criminals and the disaffected, rose a band of renegades, led by the Lady Thella. No one was safe from Thella's depredations, and now her quarry was Aramina, reputed to have a telepathic link with dragons. But when Thella mistakenly vented her rage on Jayge's family, she made a dangerous mistake. For Jayge was bent on revenge . . . and he would never let her have the girl who heard dragons!

Written by Samhita Arni. Art by Moyna Chitrakar.

Written in ancient Sanskrit, the Ramayana is an epic poem by the Hindu sage Valmiki.

An allegorical story with important Hindu teachings, it has had great influence on Indian life and culture over the centuries. This version of the Ramayana is told from the perspective of Sita, the queen. After she and her husband Rama are exiled from their kingdom, Sita is captured by the proud and arrogant king Ravana and subjected to his advances. Though Rama rescues her, he cannot trust Sita again and so forces her to undergo an ordeal by fire to prove herself to be true and pure. Though she emerges unscathed, suspicion haunts their relationship.
