But he learns music and harping from an old man known simply as Harper, who also teaches him the basics of the Bardic Code. When Harper disappears, Cricket enters the world he knows only through stories and finds that not everyone knows the old rules, or follows them, and he has to decide for himself what is right—and how far he is willing to go to defend his beliefs.
