Book description
When Menolly, daughter of Yanus Sea Holder, arrived at the Harper Craft
Hall, she came in style, aboard a huge bronze dragon, followed by her
nine fire lizards. The Masterharper of Pern, aware of her unique skills,
had chosen her as his only girl apprentice. But the holdless girl had
first to overcome many heartaches in this strange new life. Two things
sustained her -- her devoted lizards, a subject on which she was fitted
to instruct her Masters -- and the music...music of compelling beauty,
music-making where at last she was accepted. In the Great Hall, Menolly
could fulfil her destiny.
