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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"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

"As a die-hard fan of Diana Gabaldon’s time-travelling Outlander books, this is going to fill the gap nicely as I wait for book 10 . . . . Honestly, this is right up my Jamie Fraser-loving alley." — New Scientist

"Fun, romantic and heartbreaking. Serious Outlander vibes with a fresh new twist." — Pim Wangtechawat, author of The Moon Represents my Heart

"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

"Refreshingly original . . . . A stunning debut." — Jason Ayres, author of The Time Bubble series
