Hearn, Lian - Across the Nightingale Floor : 287 pages, © 2002
In a world based on medieval Japan, a young man is adopted into the Otori clan after his village is destroyed by a rival warlord. Renamed Takeo, he hones old skills and learns new: preternatural hearing, the ability to move with unnatural silence, and even the art of invisibility. Action, suspense, and romance combine in a sweeping historical epic. First in the Tales of the Otori trilogy.
