Book excerpt: PUTRI MUSIM GUGUR, ANAK NAGA (Autumn Princess, Dragon Child) The Tale of Shikanoko 2 Shikanoko gundah setelah mengalami kegagalan, dan masa depan yang tadinya jelas, sekarang tampak buram. Putri Musim Gugur dan bocah yang merupakan sang kaisar sejati bersembunyi di hutan, tanpa teman maupun perlindungan. Di pondok penyihir gunung, lahir generasi baru Suku Laba-laba, yang bukan manusia, bukan setan, dan dengan cepat menjadi dewasa. Satu klan terusir, klan lain menguasai ibu kota, dan bencana alam silih berganti melanda. Apakah Surga akan pernah merasakan kedamaian? Dalam Putri Musim Gugur, Anak Naga, orde lama goyah dan nasib jadi tak bisa ditebak karena insting balas dendam, loyalitas, dan survival semakin kuat, tajam, cepat. Pertempuran memperebutkan Singgasana Teratai pun dimulai. Dalam karya Lian Hearn tentang Jepang abad pertengahan ini---begitu penuh magis, keindahan, kekerasan, cinta, dan penderitaan---satu-satunya yang tak terelakkan adalah bahwa kekuatan-kekuatan itu menuju klimaks yang brutal. Namun, siapa pemainnya dan apa yang jadi taruhannya belum diketahui.
