A must read for fans of James Clavell’s book, and the 2024 movie, SHŌGUN.
BLOODLINES is an epic historical adventure for fans of samurai-themed novels and movies. Spanning four centuries, this trilogy is a tale of revenge, redemption, survival, and the enduring legacy of the blades forged by legendary swordsmith Sadamune. Journey across time and witness the impact of Sadamune’s creations on the lives of those who dare to wield them. An absorbing, fast-moving, sword-slicing, action-filled read that survives war, famine, rebellion, volcanic eruptions, meddling priests, and trade-hungry Portuguese who connive their way into political power and religion.
Each first daughter of the Hiroda family inherits the Sadamune blade, The Soul Taker, and must follow in the footsteps of their shadow-warrior mothers. From Aki, who must avenge her mother’s betrayal and ultimate murder, to Aka, who fights for the Christians, to Rin, who manages the Sakai Sword Shop, and Kiyo who marries into the Iga clan. The family breaks tradition when Captain Sakai Keisuke carries The Soul Taker into battle during the Pacific War. In the present day, Aki’s descendant, Yasuko, is an assassin working as a sword appraiser who must outwit the mafia and a crooked cop who would kill to own a Sadamune blade.
You’ll meet imagined characters like Cho, a disgruntled ronin, Masa who stole from the battlefield of Sekigahara; power-hungry Chiyoda, leader of The Black Orchid Society; and Lord Shinjo, who always gets what he wants. Then, Captain Jan de Jager, who works for the Dutch East India Company (VOC), and Maarten Voont, a VOC director and his son, Hendrik Voont. Weaved into the story are well-known historical characters like Shōgun Tokugawa Ieyasu, Captain Pilot William Adams, and his daughter, Deliverance, and the famous samurai, Miyamoto Musashi.

CALAIS - Always & Forever
A story of endurance, love, commitment and faith. Set in wartime England, France, Germany and Poland this is a story of endurance and survival. Twenty-year old Charlie Crowhurst, after six months of training, had no idea what he was about to encounter when he sailed from Dover to Calais to take on the 10th Panzer division advancing towards the coastal town. He was part of Churchill’s plan to stall the German army so that 300,000 British soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force, stranded at Dunkirk, could be evacuated. After four days, exhausted, without food, water or ammunition, he was captured and about to experience five years as a prisoner of war. |
