While in Japan researching the life of her third-great-grandfather, Hisakichi Kuroki, a vicious typhoon magically transports Kuroki’s present day heroine Isla MacKenzie to the Satsuma rebellion of 1877 where the samurai made a final, dramatic stand against the modernization of Japan. There, she encounters historical figures like SaigÅ Takamori, the leader of the Satsuma rebellion, and Hisa Kirino, who was the head of the female auxiliary troops in the rebellion. Isla meets these figures, her ancestors, and even finds an unexpected romance with a charismatic young samurai, Kei. With the failed rebellion looming, and Kei’s fate on the line, Isla must make a difficult decision: Should she attempt to change history or somehow make her way back to the life she’d had before?
