Brilliance of the Moon
The long-awaited third installment of the worldwide phenomenon and number-one international bestseller, Tales of the Otori.
Set in an imagined medieval Japan, Book Three is a thrilling – and
surprising – follow-up to the previous adventures of Takeo and Kaede.
Taking us deeper into the complexities of the loyalties that bind the
novel's characters at birth – the fates from which they cannot escape – Brilliance of the Moon goes beyond its transcendent storytelling in demonstrating how we are
shaped by forces outside of our control and yet must forge our own
destinies all the same.
A thoroughly gripping read, Brilliance of the Moon is also the most powerful novel in the series – a beautiful, haunting
evocation of a time and a place just beyond the reach of an outside
world.
