Now released with stunning new cover artwork, Brilliance Of The Moon is Book 3 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

Otori Takeo's future is uncertain. If he is to reclaim his Otori heritage, he must fight for it - but his army is untrained and Takeo, despite his legendary skills as an assassin, knows nothing of warfare. Can he defeat those who seek to destroy him, and so bring peace to the Three Countries?

To take what is rightfully his, Takeo must conquer the warlord Arai Daiichi and the nobleman Lord Fujiwara, but every step is fraught with danger for him and his great love, Shirakawa Kaede. Their destinies are determined by forces beyond their control.

Coming soon - the spellbinding new Tale of Shikanoko, set 300 years before Otori: Emperor of the Eight Islands (Books 1 and 2) and Lord of the Darkwood (Books 3 and 4).
