In an imaginary feudal Japan, Takeo grows up in a peaceful community that is massacred by the men of the cruel lord Iida. Saved and adopted by the head of the Otori clan, he is drawn into the struggles between clans, driven by vengeance, loyalty and his love for Kaede. His path leads him to the fortress of Inuyama, protected by a floor that sings under any step… and which he must cross without being heard.
First installment of the series «Tales of the Otori» (Le Clan des Otori). Original work «Across the Nightingale Floor», published in 2002.
For readers of young adult fantasy and historical fiction set in feudal Japan.
