They also both have a duty-driven hero, a strong, resourceful heroine who begins the story as a servant but was not born to that life. Even the nature of the romance, which is something like "arranged" is similar between the stories.… (more) 10 Damia by Anne McCaffrey (raq929)00 Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey (amanda4242, ktoonen)ktoonen: Magical creatures paired telepathically with human youths (dragons versus horses/Companions), with similar feminist tones. 02 The Memory of Earth by Orson Scott Card (gtfernandezm)gtfernandezm: Lost World setting in which simplicity has been used to avoid the past failings of humanity.

HOW CAN ONE GIRL SAVE AN ENTIRE WORLD? To the nobles who live in Benden Weyr, Lessa is nothing but a ragged kitchen girl. For most of her life she has survived by serving those who betrayed her father and took over his lands. Now the time has come for Lessa to shed her disguise—and take back her stolen birthright. But everything changes when she meets a queen dragon. The bond they share will be deep and last forever. It will protect them when, for the first time in centuries, Lessa’s world is threatened by Thread, an evil substance that falls like rain and destroys everything it touches. Dragons and their Riders once protected the planet from Thread, but there are very few of them left these days. Now brave Lessa must risk her life, and the life of her beloved dragon, to save her beautiful world. . . .
