The Science Fiction novel by Orson Scott Card tells the emotional and political journey, the fairy-tale and tragic life of Ender, the Chantist. A remarkable child who grew up within the stone walls and mystical atmosphere of the Odeon and who can, with the gift of his voice, calm or intensify passions. Ender's voice is both a blessing and a curse, as it has the ability to reflect the hopes and fears of the audience, magnifying emotions. And in the palace of Mikal, Ender and his songs will undergo the ultimate test: will they soothe Mikal's troubled conscience or lead him, and the Universe with him, into madness and chaos?
