Lord of the Darkwood: The Tale of Shikanoko Audiobook (Free)

Against a background of wild forest, elegant castles, hidden temples and savage battlefields, the experience that began with Emperor from the Eight Islands draws to its thrilling conclusion in Lord of the Darkwood, the second instalment of Lian Hearn’s the Tale of Shikanoko.

The rightful emperor is lost. Shikanoko is definitely condemned to live, half-man and half-deer, an outlaw in the Darkwood. Yet the mighty lords who today rule the Eight Islands are victim to suspicion and disease, and drought and famine choke the realm. Only Shikanoko may bring healing, by rebuilding the preordained ruler towards the Lotus Throne. And only one person may bring him back from the Darkwood .
