The third title in the compelling Tales of the Otori – the story that began with Across the Nightingale Floor and Grass For His Pillow, Brilliance of the Moon by Lian Hearn is an epic tale of love, power and destiny, set in a mythical world inspired by feudal Japan.
Takeo and the exquisite Kaede, still only teenagers, are now married, but the implacable forces of destiny that rule their lives tear them apart. Takeo, a battle-hardened warrior at the head of an army fighting for his Otori birthright, finds his courage and leadership forged in the fire of bloodshed and sacrifice, while his legendary magical powers are tested to their limits against the invisible assassins of the Tribe. Kaede, determined to reclaim her own lands, is treacherously betrayed and forced into marriage. Their love will survive until death – but death, in this savage, beautiful world, is always only a moment away.

Lian Hearn is creating an imaginary world every bit as absorbing as Middle Earth and Hogwarts . . . This is the same mysterious oriental landscape that beguiled Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon audiences. (Guardian)
Quite simply the best story of magic, love, sex, revenge and suspense since Philip Pullman. (Independent on Sunday)
We're delighted to be publishing these mini editions of the original Tales of the Otori novels. What we've done is to split each of the original books into two and packaged them with stunning covers priced at £2.50 each and numbered in sequence from volume 1 to volume 6. We've done this to mark the publication of Lian Hearn's fantastic new book THE HARSH CRY OF THE HERON which comes out in September, the following month. These delightful minitature editions (still easy to read though!!) serve as a fantastic introduction to those of you who haven't read Lian Hearn before. And for those who have they're extremely collectable as they will only be available for a limited period.
