When his voice suddenly changes, he fears his time among the Harpers has ended. But the Masterharper has a special assignment for the singer. On a daring mission to the mysterious Southern Continent, Piemur searches for the secrets of the Old-timers—and his own role in Harper Hall’s future.

Anne McCaffrey’s wondrous tales of Pern, with all their colorful dragons and fascinating characters, are classics of fantasy literature. With millions of fans around the world, the Harper Hall Trilogy has become one of this century’s most popular fantasy sagas—and a tribute to the power of imaginative storytelling.

Well done.

This book was a very good way to round out the three-book series. I was pleasantly surprised that it focused on a different character than the previous books and provided some insight to prepare the reader for The White Dragon.

Awesome

Such a joy. I’ve been a fan of Anne McCaffrey since I read the first magazine extract in a doctors waiting room. This is a fabulous story of a very impish young man who reputation for mischief gets him into many scrapes. Fabulous. Highly recommend this book.
