WARNING: Contains spoilers, so read 'Lady Samurai' first! Shizuka is the daughter of Lord Takeda. She is proud and independent. She wants to be respected for who she is. But that's not easy being half Japanese - the daughter of an important Imperial minister and an infamous Westerner. She is a highly skilled warrior, but also a beautiful woman who breaks hearts just by smiling. But she dreams of true love, of feelings as strong as those shared by her parents. Then she is torn between two men. One is a potential political ally. The other is her heart's choice. As Japan descends into chaos of civil unrest her whole family might be in a mortal danger. Will Shizuka choose to follow her duty or her heart? Will she prove herself to others, and, more importantly, to herself? If you, like me, found it quite difficult to abandon Lottie and her family at the beginning of their great adventure, you might find yourself wondering: 'what happened next?' Well... Here is what I imagined might have happened... Cover by AI

'The Last Samurai' meets 'Shōgun', meets 'The King and I'... For years she believed herself to be cursed. Every time she grew close to someone they were taken away from her, paying the ultimate price. And now the curse struck again... Lottie has been falsely accused of her uncle's murder. She must escape or she will hang. It's 1854 and America's lawless West is not a place where a lonely woman can count on justice. Then, by the turn of fate, she is given a chance to revisit Japan and seek the people who raised her. In Imperial Japan, divided between isolationists and modernists, she finds an unexpected love and a new sense of belonging. She also finds someone else. Someone from her past... What will she choose? Where will her loyalties lie? Cover design by More Visual Ltd.

After an enchanted artifact lures Kara Walker three thousand years back in time, she finds herself in the perilous world of ancient Egypt, an era when everyone fears-and reveres-the might of King Ahmose II, divine law of the land. No one is exempt from Pharaoh's decree and when she is mistakenly accused of looting sacred royal tombs, she has a choice: flee for her life or face Pharaoh's wrath. Her otherworldly appearance makes it impossible to find safe harbor in the dangerous city of Thebes, and Ahmose soon becomes her only salvation. When his life is threatened by an assassin, the eccentric bond between them could change Kara's mind about returning home. Fantasy - Highest ranking #80 Copyright (c) Olivia Fallyn.
