The last book in the 'Tales of the Otori' trilogy. This was a wonderful ending to an engaging story of medieval Japan. Although this may be considered to be somewhat predictable I really enjoyed reading this. I think I finished this book in almost one sitting. I will have to watch for more from this author.

From the flap:
Otori Takeo and Shirakawa Kaede are now married and more resolved than ever to strengthen their domains. Yet their hasty marriage has enraged Arai Daiichi, the warlord who controls most of the Three Countries, and has insulted the nobleman Lord Fujiwara, who considered Kaede betrothed to him.
