Takeo and Kaede have ruled the Three Countries peacefully for over 16 years, following the tumultuous events laid out in the epic, "Tales of the Otori". The land and people are peaceable and calm, the world is balanced and Heaven seems to shine upon them. They have three daughters. Shigeko, 15 years old and heir to the vast territory, is developing into a bold warrior with meditative powers, making her wise beyond her years, and Maya and Miki - twins, two years' her junior - have inherited the supernatural powers of their father. However, an attempted assassination of Kaede at the New Year ceremonies reveals that the inescapable forces of destiny still bear down on Takeo and those he loves, and that forces from his past and from beyond the Three Countries are plotting. While his strength and power come from the enduring love of Kaede, the blind sage's prophecy that only his son could bring death to him, haunts his thoughts. This is a breath-taking epic of warfare and sacrifice, passionate revenge, treacherous betrayals and unconquerable love. Lian Hearn's ancient mythological world of fierce chivalry is compelling, timeless storytelling that will endure for generations of readers to come.

<p>Life isn’t looking too rosy for Alice Devine. She’s a single mum, and needs a well-paid job fast, because as much as she loves her sister, Hilda, she hadn’t planned on living with her. Added to that, her love life has been a disaster and she’s beginning to wonder if she’ll ever find the man of her dreams.\nThings suddenly start to look up when she lands the job as assistant fund raiser for St Jude’s Maternity Hospital – particularly when she meets her new boss, the gorgeous but enigmatic Jack Wiseheart. What she hadn’t bargained for was also acting as general dogsbody to the terrifying and wealthy Maud Hamilton-O’Connor, Chair of the Fundraising Committee and her side-kick, Koo.\nNothing is ever as it seems, however, and it’s not only the women who have their secrets. When the cracks start to appear, they all realize in their different ways that they have to face the truth before they can get on with their lives.</p>
