Song for the Basilisk
Author: Patricia A. McKillip
Desc: As a child Rook had been taken in by the bards of Luly and raised as one of their own. Of his past he knew nothing -- except faint memories of fire and death that he'd do anything to forget. But nightmares and a new threat to the island that had become his own would not let him escape the dreaded fate of his true family. Haunted by the music of the bards he left the only home he knew to wander the land of the power-hungry basilisk who had destroyed his family. And perhaps finally to find a future in the fulfillment of his forgotten destiny.(
