"Pern was a beautiful planet, Earthlike enough to feel like home, yet unspoiled by the industrial development and interstellar wars . . . the few thousand colonists who came to Pern intended to keep it that way. . . Suddenly disaster struck. Deadly spores fell like silver threads from the sky, devouring everything - and everyone - in their path. Fire and water could destroy the Thread but the colonists could not keep up with the relentless attacks. . . If only the dragonlike lizards that inhabited their new world were big enough for a human to ride and intelligent enough to work as a team with a rider . . ."

First volume of the Harper Hall trilogy, part of McCaffrey's Pern universe.
"Every 200 years or so, shimmering threads fall, raining black ruin on Pern. The great dragons of Pern hurl themselves through the beleaguered skies, flaming tongues of fires to destroy deadly Thread and save the planet. It was not Threadfall that made Menolly unhappy. It was her father who betrayed her ambition to be a Harper, who thwarted her love of music. Menolly had no choice but to run away. She came upon a group of fire lizards, wild relatives of the fire-breathing dragons. Her music swirled about them; she taught nine to sing, suddenly Menolly was no longer alone."
