Takeo, heir to the Otori clan, has pledged his life and loyalty to the secret organisation called the Tribe. His supernatural gifts make him one of their most efficient assassins, but to fulfil their brutal activities Takeo must deny the spiritual vows of his childhood. The Tribe has saved Takeo's life, but they demand a high cost. Takeo must also give up his love for Kaede.
Kaede, separated from Takeo, faces her own challenges. As a woman she is particularly vulnerable to the machinations of neighbouring clans, hungry for her lands and fortune.
Set in a mythical feudal Japan, Grass for his Pillow is a beautifully crafted epic that will enthrall both teenagers and adults.
