Product Description

Lord Otori, Takeo, and Takeo’s new teacher Kenji set off to meet Kaede, a fifteen-year-old girl chosen as the future Lady Otori by a group of political collaborators. Takeo is still trying to come to terms with knowing that, through the father he never knew, he is one of the Tribe—a group of mysterious, ninja-like assassins who have allegiance to no one. When Takeo and Kaede first meet, they are drawn to each other, and without speaking a word, fall in love. But events are doomed to pull them apart, and soon they are each thrust into a battle for their lives.

'Quite simply the best story of magic, love, sex, revenge and suspense to have come this way since Philip Pulman' - Amanda Craig, Independent on Sunday

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
We're delighted to be publishing these mini editions of the original Tales of the Otori novels. What we've done is to split each of the original books into two and packaged them with stunning covers priced at £2.50 each and numbered in sequence from volume 1 to volume 6. We've done this to mark the publication of Lian Hearn's fantastic new book THE HARSH CRY OF THE HERON which comes out in September, the following month. These delightful minitature editions (still easy to read though!!) serve as a fantastic introduction to those of you who haven't read Lian Hearn before. And for those who have they're extremely collectable as they will only be available for a limited period.

About the Author

Lian Hearn studied modern languages at Oxford University and worked as a film critic and arts editor in London before settling in Australia. A lifelong interest in Japan led to0 the study of the Japanese language, many trips to Japan and culminated in the writing of the Tales of the Otori.

This book is a work of art and the special editions are perfect for those who have read the series and wish to collect them.

The plot is beautifully crafted and the detached attitude of the narrator is well suited to the character, making you become attached to him and the other characters. The matter-of-fact revelations never fail to shock, overall an amazing book that definitely must be on the must read list of every teenager.
