Menolly's life at the seahold was hard, particularly because none of her family understands her love of music. When Menolly is forbidden to write and play tunes and injures her hand in a fishing accident, she runs away from everything she knows to try and pursue her music. Sheltering from the deadly falling Thread in a sea-side cave, she discovers several new little friends in a nest of fire lizards who will soon help her find her dreams.
