Merelan was the most outstanding soprano ever heard on Pern and was often the only one who could master Petiron's technically accomplished compositions. When, after a long and difficult birth, <strong>Robinton</strong> was born to them, it should have been the culmination of a unique partnership.<br /><br />But Petiron, almost from the first day, had no time for his son, refusing to see the incredible talent the boy possessed, ignoring his achievements and maintaining a strict and disapproving vigilance over him at all times.<br /><br />Carefully, secretly, <strong>the Harper Hall</strong> took over, training the greatest talent Pern had ever seen - a talent that was more than just musical - <strong>for Robinton was able to talk to the dragons of Pern</strong>.<br /><br />As constant sadness beset his personal life, so a startling career sent him like a meteor through <strong>the Holds and Weyrs of Pern</strong> until, as <strong>MasterHarper</strong>, he became part of the great plan to rescue <strong>Lessa</strong> from the brutal rule of <strong>Holder Fax</strong> - <strong>Lessa, who was to be the saviour of the dragons of Pern.</strong></p>
