Heaven's Net is Wide brings us to mystical, medieval Japan of the award-winning Tales of the Otori series. Set as a prequel to Lian Hearn's first book, Across the Nightingale Floor, Heaven's Net recounts the life of Lord Otori Shigeru, the series' spiritual warrior-godfather who saved and raised young Takeo. In this lyrical and moving tale of warfare, loyalty, love, and heartbreak, we learn about Shigeru's training in the ways of the warrior and feudal lord; his relationship with the Tribe of powerful assassins; his fateful meeting with his lover, Lady Maruyama; the battle of Yaegahara; and other turning points that shaped the series. “Equal parts historical fiction, high fantasy and revelatory Taoist fable, the now complete Tales of the Otori is a saga to be treasured” (Publishers Weekly).
