Continuing on from the events of Dragongirl, Lorana times it Between to the Third Interval on Minith; the queen dragon of Tullea, planning to bring the dragons of that time back to aid the weakened Weyrs of the Third Pass. However, she arrives to find Benden Weyr empty, and an aged Tullea alone in it, who forces her to return to the Third Pass. Unknown to Lorana, this is a ruse - the inhabitants of Benden Weyr were hiding at another location, with Tullea remaining behind to ensure Lorana would journey to where she would be needed next.
