Songmaster
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Songmaster is a fantasy novel by Orson Scott Card. The story of Songmaster occurs within a future human empire, and follows a young boy trained in the art of singing so beautifully that his songs can express ideas and emotions more truthfully than words. Because of his talent, he is sent to the Emperor himself to sing. The empire of Songmaster is a place of treachery, resembling that of ancient Rome and the Galactic Empire of Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.
