Gate to Kagoshima is an action-packed adventure that opens in Scotland and makes its way to Kagoshima, Japan, as our heroine flees the ghosts of relationships past only to find new loves―and new heartbreak. Set at the close of the Samurai era, the story blends Outlander by way of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.--Marie Claire
A terrific 'what if' time-travel novel with an intriguing historical element, epic battles, and a dash of romance.--Adrian Cousins, author of The Jason Apsley series
In this exciting historical romantasy in the spirit of The Hurricane Wars and The Time Traveler's Wife--Outlander set in Japan--a young Scottish woman is magically transported to the last Samurai era, where she encounters ghosts from the past, her own Japanese ancestry, and a love that transcends time.
While in Japan researching her family's history, a vicious typhoon sends Isla Mackenzie 128 years back in time, to the dawn of the Satsuma Rebellion. There she meets her ancestors, and a charismatic samurai, Kei, with whom she unexpectedly finds romance.
But, unlike her Beloved, Isla knows about the looming Samurai rebellion--and Kai's fate. Should she attempt to change history or somehow make her way back to the life she'd had before?
Compulsively readable, historically grounded, and irresistibly immersive, Gate to Kagoshima is an unforgettable tale of duty, and of timeless love.
The book is beautifully designed and features colored and illustrated sprayed edges--purple with stenciled moonscape and cherry blossoms.
