Lian Hearn
Sixteen-year-old Takeo's village has been massacred by an evil warlord, and he is about to be slain by the men who murdered his parents and neighbors. At the last moment, his life is saved by a nobleman, who claims the boy as his kin and begins his education.
But nothing is as it seems. Takeo discovers that he has rare powers that are useful to those around him. As he grows into manhood, he must decide where his loyalties lie: with his noble master and adoptive father; with the Hidden, a secret, spiritual sect whose beliefs are forbidden; or with the Tribe, the assassins and spies who consider him one of their own.
A story of treachery, political intrigue, and the intensity of first love, set in a world ruled by formal ritual and codes of honor, Across the Nighingale Floor crosses genres, generations, and genders to captivate fans of all ages.

Wonderful series of books

What dropped the rating a bit was the performance. Both narrators had good intonation and clarity, but the pace of the female reader was slow. So slow, that after the normal speed of the male reader, the female part seemed interminable.
I can recommend this book, but be warned about some of the narration. Other than that, it was pretty good.

It is hard for me to comprehend, even in an imaginary world, that so much could be done by someone so young.
A disconserting story
