Two women from different cultures and centuries - and both samurai

The third book in the Secret Samurai Trilogy. Bebe Bell is a modern Englishwoman time-slipped into the mind of male samurai, Kai Matsuda, who is fighting for the future of his country in the civil war of the 1860's. Events escalate and steer them into unexpected and dangerous directions as Bebe struggles with her duel life and a deeper understanding of it and Kenji faces his own dangers both physical and emotional.

Yoshi is an aristocratic woman forced to disguise herself as a male samurai in order to survive. After a chance meeting she finds danger and increased, undreamed of, opportunities. A new world beckons which needs ambition, courage and trust.

The future of the new world shifts on sand.
