In this sequel to ACROSS THE NIGHTINGALE FLOOR, Takeo repudiates the crown he is heir to and, instead, studies with the Tribe, a clan of assassins--though he hates the idea of killing. The princess Kaede, who loves him, has troubles of her own as she tries to mend the rents in her family that have arisen from the defeat of her father. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.

Publisher Notes
Adopted by an Otori Lord, orphan Takeo rises to become a closely held member of the Tribe and finds his love for Maruyama heir Shirakawa Kaede challenged by dissembling clans and fractured allegiances.
Media Reviews
"[I]t's hard to get past the feeling that, in true trilogy fashion, this follow-up is doing little more than setting the stage for the awesome meeting of swords and wills that seems sure to come in a final volume. As such, it makes for engaging, but less than essential, reading....though it may garner new readers on its own merits."
