And other secrets that cannot be kept hidden. Everything that he and Kaede have achieved is threatened.The Harsh Cry of the Heron is the dazzling continuation of the ‘Tales of the Otori’, an unforgettable epic with a vast emotional landscape, a classic work that crosses genres, genders and generations.
