<br/><br/> In the acient oriental lands of the Otori, a young boy is one of the Hidden, a reclusive peope who know only the ways of peace. In an instant this boy, Takeo, has all that he has known taken away by the murderous Tohan clan in a massacre only he survives. Rescued by a mysterious lord, Takeo begins a quest for revenge that sees him master supernatual powers he never knew he had. Using these deadly skills he sets out on a journey of treachery, honour and loyalty, beuaty and magic that leads him to his violet destiny within the walls of Inuyama - and to a meeting with a young woman, Kaede, a pawn in the struggles between the clans who has found her own inner strengths to save herself. -- back cover.
