A time-slip romance at the brink of the Satsuma Rebellion
Family-history research becomes a passage into Japan’s final samurai era when a typhoon carries Scottish traveler Isla Mackenzie 128 years into the past. Arriving at the dawn of the Satsuma Rebellion, she encounters her own ancestors and forms an unexpected bond with the samurai Kei. The novel places a personal dilemma against a known historical turning point: Isla has knowledge of the rebellion ahead and must weigh intervening in events against returning to her former life. Scottish and Japanese family ties, time travel, historical conflict, and romance shape the book’s central tensions.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of historical fantasy with time-travel premises
- Readers interested in samurai-era Japan and the Satsuma Rebellion

"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
"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
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.
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 colored and illustrated sprayed edges--purple with stenciled moonscape and cherry blossoms.
