| book description |

â€˜Quite simply the best story of magic, love, sex, revenge and suspense to have come this way since Philip Pullmanâ€™ â€“ Independent on Sunday Set in a mythical feudal land, a world both beautiful and cruel, the intense love story of two young people takes place against a background of warring clans, secret alliances, high honour and lightning swordplay. In his palace at Inuyama, Lord Iida Sadamu, warlord of the Tohan clan, surveys his famous nightingale floor. Its surface sings at the tread of every human foot, and no assassin can cross it unheard. But sixteen-year-old Otori Takeo, his family murdered by Iidaâ€™s warriors, has the magical skills of the Tribe â€“ preternatural hearing, invisibility, a second self â€“ that enable him to enter the lair of the Tohan. He has love in his heart and death at his fingertips . . . Lian Hearnâ€™s powerful bestseller Across the Nightingale Floor is an epic story for readers young and old. Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.
