EMPEROR OF THE EIGHT ISLANDS - LIAN HEARN KARTO...

In the opening pages of the action-packed Book One of Lian Hearn's epic Tale of Shikanoko
series  a future lord is dispossessed of his birthright by a scheming uncle  a mountain
sorcerer imbues a mask with the spirit of a great stag for a lost young man  a stubborn father
forces his son to give up his wife to his older brother  and a powerful priest meddles in the
succession to the Lotus Throne  the child who is the rightful heir to the emperor barely
escaping the capital in the arms of his sister. And that is just the beginning. 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 Tale of Shikanoko Book One: Emperor of the Eight Islands Book
Two: Autumn Princess  Dragon Child Book Three: Lord of the Darkwood Book Four: The Tengu's Game
of Go
