Gate to Kagoshima

""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 ""Kuroki launches a historical romantasy series with this addictive, high-concept epic that travels from the modern day to 1870s Japan. . . . . Isla's foreknowledge keeps the stakes of the love story sky-high against the vivid, wonderfully detailed backdrop of feudal Japan. Readers won't be able to turn the pages fast enough."" -- Publishers Weekly ""Fans of Outlander will appreciate Kuroki's treatment of a familiar story, while the Japanese setting, language, and culture sprinkled throughout are a fresh addition to the genre."" -- Library Journal ""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
