Description

When Masterharper Zist takes over as Harper for Natalon's coal-mining camp, he assigns his apprentice Pellar a mission to investigate the recent thefts of coal. Pellar soon discovers that the culprit may be one of the Shunned, children condemned to a life of hardship and wandering.

The story follows Halla, an innocent child of the Shunned who must fend for herself after her family's death. Her situation is complicated by Tenim, a fellow child of the Shunned who has formed an alliance with Tarik, a crooked miner. However, as Tenim becomes more embroiled in the thefts, he begins to realize that there is more at stake than just coal.

The fate of Pern hangs in the balance as the search for a new deposit of firestone, a volatile mineral essential for defending against Thread, becomes a desperate race. With the last remaining mine exploding in flames, the outcome is far from certain.
