Across the Nightingale Floor introduces sixteen-year-old Takeo, whose family is slaughtered by the ruthless Tohan clan.

Grass for His Pillow continues Takeo's story as he is torn between his oath to the deadly Tribe and his love for the fiercely independent Kaede, who must defend her inherited lands against greedy rivals while war closes in.
