Across the nightingale floors- Hearn
In ancient Japan, Takeo, a sixteen-year-old saved from a massacre by the mysterious Lord Otori, struggles to reconcile his dual nature–the one given him by the Hidden, the pacifist people among whom he was born and raised, and the one inherited from his father, a celebrated assassin. Number 1 in the Tales of the Otori series.
