'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 ‘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 Summer Reads pick by Mischa Anouk Smith '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.'
