Overview

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, when 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. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
