SONG FOR THE BASILISK by PATRICIA McKILLIP
World fantasy award-winner McKillip spins perhaps her most enduring story about a boy torn from his family and his destiny who grows into a man who resists his destiny, but ultimately comes to embrace it. Music is magic in this world, and the basilisk is not a giant snake but a treacherous prince.
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 dreadful 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 ...
