Description
Now released with stunning new cover artwork, Grass for His Pillow is Book 2 in the five-part Tales of the Otori series.
'The best story of magic, love, sex, revenge and suspense to have come this way since Philip Pullman.' Independent on Sunday
In the ancient lands of the Otori, in a time of war and famine, the fate of the young lovers Otori Takeo and Shirakawa Kaede hangs in the balance. Takeo, heir to the great Otori clan, has pledged his life to the secret Tribe. To follow their brutal directions and become their most deadly assassin, he must deny the spiritual vows of his peaceful upbringing, his birthright of wealth, land and power—and his love for Kaede. If he turns his back on the Tribe, they will kill him.
Forced to take a path that leads him to extreme danger, Takeo grows from boy to man. Kaede, heiress to vast lands, is now the valuable pawn of ruthless warlords. She must use her intelligence, beauty, and cunning to assert her place in a world of all-powerful men—who must never suspect the dangerous secret she hides.
Coming soon—the spellbinding new Tale of Shikanoko, set 300 years before Otori: Emperor of the Eight Islands (Books 1 & 2) and Lord of the Darkwood (Books 3 & 4).
