Across the nightingale floor is a book written by Lian Hearn it is about a boy called Tomasu who is a member of the Hidden clan. The book starts with Tomasu coming back from a wander in the forest and him finding his whole clan dead. In the process of Tomasu trying to get a way he meats Iida the leader of the tohan and the man who lead the slaughter. Tomasu accidently unhorses Iida and runs off with Iida's men on his trail. He is saved by Lord Otori who helps him escape. Lord Otori then changes Tomasu's name to Takeo because of his old names Hiodden roots. Lord Otori then takes Takeo back to his home and ends up adopting him. At Otori's home he finds out that his father was a skilled assasin so he then gets trained by Muto Kenjii. The rest of the story is very gripping and magical and I would urge anyone 12 up to read this book!
