Krátky popis
Aurora Award Finalist. When the Shogun’s soldiers burn his village
and kill his parents, young Asai is rescued by a strange red hawk
and led to a fabled temple. Here, he trains under Ikada, the
Warrior of the Red Bird and seeker of the Hidden Light. Asai will
be the last Warrior, and unless he can succeed where all other
Warriors have failed—to discover the Hidden Light—then his people
will suffer a thousand years of misery. But when Sawako, a
beautiful young woman, challenges him, Asai must choose between his
heart, his people, and his destiny."I loved this tale. ... It has
the feel of a myth or legend about a boy who finds that his destiny
is closely entwined with the destiny of a people. But rather than
repeat a tale we’ve all read before, the author has written
something subtly new. … Honestly, I could have read it forever. The
ending was that perfect combination of sadness and hope." —SF
Crowsnest Review"A spellbinding piece of writing set in a
Japan-that-never-was that is both well-plotted and elegantly paced"
—Strange Horizons"A superbly told, involving, and brilliantly paced
short story, complete with an ending made more tragic by its
inevitability... Worth the price of the issue." —Tangent Online "A
mini-epic about a young boy named Asai and the phoenix that saves
him from death while his village is being raided... If you love
Japanese and Samurai stories, this one will give you goose bumps."
—Tangent Online"Powerful, moving and not quite predictable (A+)"
—Fantasy Book Critic"A wonderfully recounted story, with an
excellent pace and a perfect ending." —Bibliopolis
