Across the Nightingale Floor(A Fmt): Otori Bk 1

Step into feudal Japan reimagined through Lian Hearn's masterful pen. This is the story of Takeo, a young man caught between worlds—raised in peace, thrust into violence, and trained as an assassin with supernatural abilities. The nightingale floor of the title? An ingenious security system that sings at the slightest footfall. Part coming-of-age tale, part political intrigue, all breathtaking. Perfect for fans of literary fantasy who crave honour, betrayal, and exquisitely crafted world-building.
