Across
the Nightingale Floor
by Lian Hearn |
|
Takeo is one of The Hidden, a reclusive
and spiritual people. When his entire village is slain by Lord
Iida Samadu, warlord of the Tohan clan, 16-year-old Takeo vows
revenge. Taken in by Lord Otori Shigeru, Takeo discovers he
possesses some amazing talents. These are the legacy of his
father's people, a select breed of magical assassins known as
the Tribe. When the mysterious Kenji arrives to school him in
his newly discovered powers Takeo suspects he has his own agenda,
and wonders if his own new clan loyalties conflict with the
plans of the Tribe. A stunning book full of secrets and love,
war and treachery. This is the first book in a trilogy and I
cannot wait to read book two - Grass for his pillow. (Suitable
for 11 years and over) |
