Kaede, meanwhile, convinces Arai to let her go to her family's estate for now, only to find it in shambles and severely damaged. Takeo has been taken hostage by the Tribe and is kept in a secret house so Arai's forces can't find him (Arai, thinking Takeo betrayed him, is furious). This second book starts shortly after the first. And to think I already know what will happen so I should be prepared!
Meanwhile, Takeo’s beloved Shirakawa Kaede, heir to the Murayama and alone in the world, must find a way to unify the domain she has inherited, as she fights off the advances of would-be suitors and hopes against fading hope that Takeo will return to her. The orphan Takeo has been condemned to work as an assassin-an enforced occupation that his father sacrificed his own life to escape. In a complex social hierarchy, amid dissembling clans and fractured allegiances, there is no place for passionate young love. Praised for its epic scope and descriptive detail, Across the Nightingale Floor, the first book in the Tales of the Otori series, was an international bestseller and critical success, named by the London Times as "the most compelling novel to have been published this year." With Grass for His Pillow, Book Two, we return to the medieval Japan of Lian Hearn's creation-a land of harsh beauty and deceptive appearances. Don't miss the related series, The Tale of Shikanoko.
