Publisher's Summary

As destiny weaves its rich tapestry, a compelling drama plays out against a background of wild forests, elegant castles, hidden temples, and savage battlefields. This is the medieval Japan of Lian Hearn's imagination, where animal spirits clash with warriors and children navigate a landscape as serene as it is deadly.

disappointed

after reading the otori trilogy and prequel, this book came as a massive disappointment. The story is do hard to follow and you never feel you have a main character to love, worry and root for. Shame considering that Mr. Hearn has the ability to transport you to that era and location with ease
