Nerilka is the daughter of a Lord Holder who turns her back on her life in an upper-class family and sets out to fight the disease that threatens to kill all humans on Pern. It is set during the events detailed in Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern. Taking a different approach from the previous seven books in the series, Nerilka's Story has a non-dragonrider and non-harper as its major viewpoint character. It was the first work in the series following publication of The Atlas of Pern, and so is not covered in the Atlas. Moreta (1983) and its sequel Nerilka (1985) are companion stories, in that the latter narrates a second perspective on major events of the former. Nerilka's Story became the eighth book in the Dragonriders of Pern volume series. Nerilka's Story is a science fiction novella by the American-Irish author Anne McCaffrey.
