"Tu conquerras la paix en cinq batailles : quatre victoires et une défaite." Takeo parviendra-t-il à apporter la paix sur les Trois Pays comme l'annonce la prophétie ? Après leur union secrète au temple de Terayama, Takeo et Kaede sont plus résolus que jamais à prendre possession de leur héritage et venger sire Shigeru. Mais, tandis que Takeo rassemble ses troupes et s'apprête à mener le grand combat, Kaede tombe dans un piège diabolique...

Takeo, désormais héritier du puissant clan des Otori, s'est engagé à rejoindre les rangs criminels de la Tribu, reniant ainsi son éducation pacifique, abandonnant ce qui lui revient de droit, territoire, fortune et pouvoir, renonçant aussi à son amour pour Kaede. Mais la Tribu peut-elle éloigner Takeo de son destin ? Le chemin qu'il choisit le conduira au paroxysme du danger, de l'épreuve et du sacrifice, au cœur des montagnes glacées du Pays du Milieu.

Au XIVe siècle, dans un Japon médiéval mythique, le jeune Takeo grandit au sein d'une communauté paisible qui condamne la violence. Mais celle-ci est massacrée par les hommes d'Iida, chef du clan des Tohan. Takeo est sauvé et adopté par sire Shigeru, chef du clan des Otori, et se retrouve plongé au cœur de luttes sanglantes entre les seigneurs de la guerre. Il doit suivre son destin. Mais qui est-il ? Paysan, seigneur ou assassin ? D'où tient-il ses dons prodigieux ?

A fantasy anthology featuring the deadly, the worldly, and the sneaky. Blackguards consists mainly of stories in established series, and the authors range from wildly successful indie authors to New York Times best sellers. If you enjoy roguish tales of scoundrels and ne'er-do-wells, this one's for you.

Takeo feels he must take on the Tribe and demonstrate the ruthlessness he will need to be a competent ruler. But the Tribe don't believe, firstly, that he knows where to find them and, secondly, that he will have the strength of will to deal with them. They are proven wrong.

As destiny weaves its rich tapestry, a compelling drama plays out against a background of wild forests, elegant castles, hidden temples, and savage battlefields. This is the medieval Japan of Lian Hearn's imagination, where animal spirits clash with warriors and children navigate a landscape as serene as it is deadly.

As a boy, Arai Sunaomi was known as the Miracle Child and crossed between the worlds to walk among the dead. Now he has put aside his past to follow the way of the warrior. His aunt, Kaede, is considering making him her heir, and her General, Miyoshi Kahei, hopes to betroth Sunaomi to his daughter, Kinu. But there is one girl whom Sunaomi cannot forget - Utahime, who has been dead for seven years. Will he dare bring her back to life?

The Tales of the Otori does for medieval Japan what Game of Thrones does for medieval Europe. The bitter struggles of the Tribe and the clans have left many children orphaned. Among them are Sunaomi and Chikara, sons of Arai Zenko, who face death after their parents' treachery. Their aunt, Kaede, is able to save their lives on the condition they become novice monks and never leave the temple at Terayama. Sunaomi has been brought up as a warrior, yet his grandmother is Muto Shizuka. He cannot escape that he is also a child of the Tribe.
