Gate to Kagoshima (Ancestor Memories, Book 1)
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 coloured and illustrated sprayed edges - purple with stencilled moonscape and cherry blossoms.
