The bravest samurai and the best mercenaries made attempts on the life of the cruel ruler of Inuyama, Yoda, and died. The mysterious “nightingale floor”, singing like a bird as soon as a person’s foot touched it, guarded the tyrant. It is impossible to walk along the “nightingale floor” unnoticed - everyone is sure of this. But in a remote mountain village, young Takeo, possessing supernatural abilities, grows up in a clan of hermit magicians. It is he, who was accidentally saved from death by the great warrior Shigeru Otori, who may become the only one who will be able to end Yoda’s life.
