'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.
