Orphan Warriors

release date: Jun 28, 2024
Orphan Warriors
Orphan warriors fight for survival in a brutal medieval world in this fantastically thrilling adventure that continues the multi-million-copy selling TALES OF THE OTORI series ''It was as if they were pieces on a board which had been kicked over, each scattered in the dirt and alone.'' Orphaned or left fatherless: such is the fate of many children of the Otori and the Tribe. Sunaomi and Chikara, sons of Arai Zenko, also carry the burden of their father''s treachery, but their aunt, Kaede, is able to save their lives on 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. As he discovers unimagined talents within himself he comes up against Hisao, Takeo''s son, the ghostmaster, as well as Saga Hideki, the most powerful warlord in the realm, the Emperor''s General. Taking place in the magical medieval world of Tales of the Otori and following on from The Harsh Cry of the Heron, Orphan Warriors is a coming-of-age adventure story in a human world of courage and sacrifice behind which always hovers a supernatural world of danger and dread. Praise for Lian Hearn: ''Brutally thrilling historical fantasy'' Herald Sun ''Much like Game of Thrones, the book can be read as political intrigue. Nobody is black or white, rather shades of grey'' The Age ''Huge imaginative vitality. Moves onwards with the narrative force of a flood. It is easy to let the book sweep the reader away'' Sydney Morning Herald ''The action comes thick and fast . . . Compelling characters and captivating worldbuilding'' Japan Times

Princesa de otoño, niño dragón
Shikanoko ha sido humillado por el fracaso, y su destino, alguna vez diáfano, se ha empañado... La princesa de otoño y aquel chico consagrado para convertirse en el verdadero emperador ahora son fugitivos en el bosque, están solos y desprotegidos. En la cabaña del hechicero de la montaña ha nacido una nueva generación de Pobladores Antiguos, la Tribu Araña, no precisamente humana ni del todo demoniaca, y alcanzan la madurez rápidamente... Uno de los clanes en pugna por el poder emprende la retirada, pero el otro se ha adueñado de la capital, y los desastres naturales continúan la debacle. La crítica ha dicho... "Brillantemente imaginada, en la leyenda de Shikanoko hay drama, pasión y traición, incluso sacrificio y el placer a la antigua de no tener idea de lo que va a pasar más adelante. ¿Por qué demonios no había salido la continuación de esta saga? Michael Giltz, BookFilter "Esta historia de ritmo veloz sobre los cambios de dinastías japonesas establece de manera fascinante los conflictos y las relaciones humanas". Publishers Weekly "Una apasionada y trepidante historia de fantasía con emocionantes giros, intriga política, romance y un ambiente rico en detalles, mitología japonesa y desconocidas influencias del mundo sobrenatural" Karin Thogersen, Library Journal "La fluida prosa de Hearn y sus personajes moralmente ambiguos son mágicamente seductores". Kirkus Reviews

Emperor of the Eight Islands

release date: Apr 26, 2016
Emperor of the Eight Islands
Japanese mythology comes to life in this "magically seductive" fantasy series debut of an orphan with mysterious power—and an empire descending into war ( Kirkus Reviews). A future lord is dispossessed of his birthright by a scheming uncle. Left for dead, he finds a new path thanks to a mountain sorcerer—and a mask imbued with the spirit of a great stag. Meanwhile, a dying emperor makes a desperate decree to stop his rival sons from instigating a costly war. But his meddling will only lead to more mistrust, betrayal, and violence. 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.

The Storyteller and His Three Daughters
''While I was disengaging myself from all emotion, audiences were demanding ever more emotional stories, filled with human passion and, shameful or not as it might be, a part of myself still wanted to give them that, to hold them spellbound and leave them thirsting for more.'' Sei is a storyteller. It''s 1884 in Tokyo, and for fifty years he has been a master of his art, but now he is starting to wonder if the new world has left him behind. Momentous changes are taking place, and everyone is looking for novelty and excitement. Just when he thinks he will never write again, his own life and the lives of the people around him begin to spiral providing the inspiration for the greatest story he has ever told. A story of love, jealousy, intrigue, and betrayal. At home his daughters'' marriages are falling apart, and coming back together again, and in his neighbourhood, he bears witness to a love entanglement so strange and threatening not even his audiences will believe it. Set against the backdrop of Japan''s first incursions into Korea and a changing political landscape, Sei offers wise and witty reflections on the perils and delights of storytelling, its lies and, ultimately, its truth.
