This is the first book in a new epic trilogy that has already become a bestselling sensation in England and Australia, earning comparisons to The Lord of the Rings. It begins with the legend of a nightingale floor in a black-walled fortress-a floor that sings in alarm at the step of an assassin. It will take true courage and all the skills of an ancient Tribe for one orphaned youth named Takeo to discover the magical destiny that awaits him...across the nightingale floor.

"Japanish" fantasy
Annu(Finland)
Fan of fantasy? Enjoy historical tales? Intrigued by Japanese history? If yes, this saga is totally for you.
Author mixes western and eastern tradition in this clear and intriguing story of good, bad and the ones in between. Ever wondered how they did the Ninja thing? Hearn offers one potential answer introducing the mystical 'tribe' whose members have the skills from flying to hearing distant noises perfecty not to mention some other fascinating skills...
What I would really like to know is how the japanese find this story.
