Heaven’s Net is Wide is one of two companion novels to Lian Hearn's popular Tales of the Otori trilogy (the other sequel being The Harsh Cry of the Heron) currently scheduled to be released in 2007.

The novel is a prequel, set before The Tales of The Otori and recounts the life of Lord Shigeru from the age of 12 (the year in which Takeo is born). It is set to include Shigeru's training with Matsuda Shingen, the battle of Yaegahara, the role of Muto Shizuka, the meeting with Lady Maruyama and other events foreshadowing Across the Nightingale Floor.
