In a medieval world, where song and music are suppressed by the almighty church, a group of strolling friars brings melody to those in need.
 
But a fearsome brotherhood known as The Black Hounds hope to eradicate music. They regularly observe the operations of the Music Bearers and aim to hunt them to extinction.
 
The secret musical order embraces a teenager named Elis and raises him to be one of their last carriers of song. He must fulfil his mission, while the Black Hounds seek to destroy him.
 
Although Elis never speaks about a childhood romance, he feels great sadness about how his relationship with a girl ended and questions why he must now face a life of celibacy. The longing he suffers will interfere with his musical quest.
 
Meanwhile, an earnest Black Hound newcomer is resolved to make a name for himself by seizing an important undercover Music Bearer’s agent. Can he pick-up this secretive operator? Or will his talented rival, the ruthless music-hunter, Zadock, get to the agent first?
 
If the Last Music Bearer fails in his mission, it’s likely Zadock of the Black Hounds will catchup with him and, if he’s captured, he’ll be tortured and probably executed. But if the Last Music Bearer  succeeds in his mission, he’ll lose the love of his life and will continue to be celibate... which path should he choose?
