The Masterharper of Pern is a science fiction novel in the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey, first published in 1998.
This book details the birth and early life of Robinton, who becomes the MasterHarper of Pern at a period just before Lessa becomes Weyrwoman.
Robinton was rejected by his father Petiron and spent most of his childhood away from his father. But since Robinton grew up in a very musically-inclined setting, all the inhabitants helped bring him along in his childhood. Robinton composed many successful songs at a very early age and was elected Masterharper unanimously. He tried to warn the Lord Holders of the rapacity of Lord Fax, but was unsuccessful. He was present when Lessa used her wit to provoke the duel in which Lord Fax was killed by F'lar; she had been in disguise as a drudge.
