The pulse-pounding sequel to "Eon." Eon has been revealed as Eona, the first female Dragoneye in hundreds of years. She must come to terms with her new Dragoneye identity and power--and learn to bear the anguish of the 10 dragons whose Dragoneyes were murdered.

Eon gaat over draken, over magie en macht. Over veldslagen en politieke intriges. Maar Eon gaat ook over mensen: over ambitie, persoonlijke ontwikkeling en innerlijke kracht. Eon is een verhaal over een jong meisje dat haar eigen verlangens na durft te streven, in een door het oude Azië geïnspireerde wereld, zo rijk aan details en zo kleurrijk verbeeld dat het voor de ogen van de lezer werkelijkheid wordt. Eon bestudeert de oude kunst van de Drakenmagie, in de hoop eens een Drakenoog te worden, de menselijke schakel met de magie van de Draken. Maar hij draagt een gevaarlijk geheim met zich mee: hij is eigenlijk Eona, een zestienjarig meisje dat een gevaarlijk dubbelleven leidt, want ontdekking betekent een zekere dood.

The new beginning-and the grand finale-to the beloved Tales of the Otori series. Heaven's Net Is Wide is the new first volume of the now complete Tales of the Otori- prequel to Across the Nightingale Floor, the book that first introduced Hearn's mythical, medieval Japanese world. This is the story of Lord Otori Shigeru-who has presided over the entire series as a sort of spiritual warrior-godfather-the man who saved Takeo and raised him as his own and heir to the Otori clan. This sweeping novel expands on what has been only hinted at before: Shigeru's training in the ways of the warrior and feudal lord, his relationship with the Tribe of mysteriously powerful assassins, the battles that tested his skills and talents, and his fateful meeting with Lady Maruyama. Heaven's Net Is Wide is an epic tale of warfare, loyalty, love, and heartbreak. This book leaves off where Across the Nightingale Floor begins, finally bringing the Otori series full circle. And while it both completes and introduces the Tales of the Otori, it also stands on its own as a satisfying, dramatic novel of feudal Japan.

Dans les Côtes-d'Armor se succèdent la Côte des Bruyères, celle de Granit rose, celle du Goëllo, la Côte d'Emeraude. Cette variété indique la caractéristique du département : un littoral admirable, succession de caps, criques, promontoires, falaises, plages et estuaires, tous pittoresques, érodés et sculptés par la force de l'eau, et prolongés, au-delà de la mer, par quelques îles et des îlots. Le département est aussi terre de traditions, qui se retrouvent notamment dans les villes : Saint-Brieuc, et ses vieux quartiers tranquilles, Tréguier, et la cathédrale Saint-Tugdual, une des plus belles de Bretagne, Dinan, bijou entouré de remparts... De châteaux en abbayes, de chapelles en points de vue remarquables, ces sites et ces cités constituent la matière de ce livre.

The second book in the Tales of the Otori trilogy continues the epic story of Otori Takeo and Shirakawa Kaede, the young lovers whose fate is played out in an ancient Oriental world, where ritualised codes of high honour counter the cruelty of savage blood-feuds. Takeo has pledged his life to the Tribe, a secret clan of spies and assassins who claim his legendary supernatural skills for their own ruthless purposes, in doing so he must deny his birthright as an Otori lord - and his love for Kaede. If he does not serve them, the Tribe will kill him. Kaede, separated from Takeo, must use her intelligence, beauty and cunning to assert her place in a world of all-powerful men - who must never know that she is carrying Takeo's child. In growing from boy to man, Takeo must make a choice - and the dangerous path he undertakes is a journey of high adventure, treachery and passion that establishes this extraordinary trilogy as one of the most brilliant and enduring works of modern fiction. GRASS FOR HIS PILLOW, the sequel to ACROSS THE NIGHTINGALE FLOOR, shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, is one of the most eagerly-awaited novels of 2003. Lian Hearn has created a brilliantly imagined culture. Here is epic storytelling whose appeal crosses genres, genders and generations.
