THE GIRL WHO HEARD DRAGONS
Tor Books, 1994

A collection of 15 short stories including the title story: Aramina's family were 'holdless.' Driven out of their home after the massacre at Ruatha, they were forced to roam the land, seeking shelter and protection wherever they could. And now, after a period in the Igen caverns, they had to flee yet again - for the evil holdless Lady Thella had discovered Aramina's unusual gift - she could 'hear' dragons - and Thella planned to exploit this gift for her own ends. At dead of night the little family began their flight through the forests and mountains of Pern - pursued by Lady Thella. But this time the dragon were to play a part in Aramina's destiny.
