In his black-walled fortress at Inuyama, the murderous warlord, Iida Sadamu, surveys his famous nightingale floor. Constructed with exquisite skill, it sings at the tread of each human foot. No assassin can cross it unheard.
But in a mountain village high in the ancient lands of the Three Countries lives one exceptional boy. He has yet to discover his true identity - and the secrets that give him the power to destroy Iida. Brought up amoung the Hidden, Takeo only knows the ways of peace. But he possesses the supernatural skills of the Tribe - preternatural hearnig, the ability to be in two places at once, to become invisible. When his life is saved by the mysterious Lord Otori Shigeru, Takeo begins the journey towards his destiny within the walls of Inuyama...

This is a perfectly balanced book that manages to be beautifully written and totally gripping at the same time. Looking forward to reading the next book in the trilogy.
