Across the Nightingale Floor |
Revenge, love, friendship, honour, betrayal, sacrifice - all themes in this richly exciting novel. Set in a parallel world, in a society with strong echoes of Medieval Japan, it follows the fortunes of Takeo, wrenched from his safe childhood background and flung into a world of war-lords and assassins. Supposedly fantasy, the background is so real it seems historical in its detail while the characters are totally believable - I cannot wait for the sequel.
