Denn in ihrer Obhut befindet sich niemand anderes als der rechtmäßige Nachfolger für den legendären Lotusthron.Mystisch und martialisch – der erste Teil des großen neuen Fantasy-Epos von Bestsellerautorin Lian Hearn, das dem ›Otori‹-Zyklus um nichts nachsteht: ebenso brachial, ebenso brillant!Pressestimmen zu diesem Buch:»Auf magische Art verführerisch!« Kirkus Review»Schonungslos spannende Historical Fantasy« Herald Sun»Exzellent erzählt« West Australian»Gewaltige erfinderische Kraft« Sydney Morning Herald»Unwiderstehliche Charaktere und ein fesselndes Weltkonstrukt!« The Japan TimesSchutzumschlag mit Goldfolienveredelung
