Book description
They were misfits, the outcasts, the murderers without Hold or
Crafthall. Some were resentful, some sought vengeance, but it was not
until Thella, Lady Holder of Telgar, began to weld them together into
a terrifying and brilliantly evil clan that they became the Renegades
of Pern. it was a time of great turmoil on the planet. The pass of the
Red Star had brought a new terrible reign of Threadfall, and in the
southern Hold, Toric was carving out an enormous empire for himself
from lands as yet uncharted. And as the times of trouble grew, so did
the ravages of Thella and her band, turning from theft to murder to
vicious and insane revenge.
Jayge Lilcamp, the young and roving trader, was one of the first to
fall foul of the renegades, and as he saw what Thella had done to his
family and his wagon train he began to seek his own revenge, a revenge
which grew into a determination to destroy the most evil woman on Pern.
