Our story begins in the autumnal throes of the mysterious bleaching sickness. Tazum Weyr is the last surviving Weyr, led by S'ris, rider of Urmath, and Hydaja, rider of Queen Soforith. S'ris has run the Weyr with a ruthlessness necessitated by disaster: instituted policies to ensure as many clutches are laid as possible, policies of intimidating and attacking Holds to ensure that the Weyr receives their regular tithes of good and candidates, and an iron hand over the entire doings of the Weyr. However, he is reaching the silvering years of maturity, and Hydaja has gone half insane mourning dead eggs and the murders she committed decades ago.
So the questions begin to loom: Who will lead the Weyr next? How will it be led? Will the Holds submit to Tazum's iron hand, or will they wage a revolution? Soforith has laid one of the last, if not the last, of her clutches. The Impressions made and dragons hatched will paint the future of the bleached Weyr and the people of Pern.
