The Sadamune Blades, Book Two:
BLOOD NEGOTIATOR

Aki Hiroda, The Ghost, continues on her shadow warrior path working for Lord Ieyasu Tokugawa as he retires from being Shogun, to Ogosho, Retired Shogun. He has ordered her to be his personal assassin and blood negotiator. 

As Ieyasu works behind the scenes to help his son establish the Tokugawa regime, Aki is sent on missions of rescue, assassination, espionage and more. This is a time of Portuguese meddling in state affairs, enslaving and selling young Japanese women and converting even samurai to the Christian faith.

The Dutch traders arrive followed by the English who build their warehouses at Hirado just when the Portuguese are banned from trading with Japan and the persecution of the Christian faithful is increased as depicted in Martin Scorsese's film (2017) Silence .

Sent on a mission to investigate the Christian movement, when Aki kills a priest, her life changes. Aki questions her own faith and wrestles with retiring to a life of peace and solitude, deciding between two lovers, and planning a family of her own - but someone is hunting for her. 

The Sadamune Blades, Book Three:
SWORDS OF FATE

The story line changes in book three and follows the lives of the swords, The Sadamune Blades, you have come to know during book one and two. Eventually the original owners and each owner thereafter passes their sword on, or they are stolen, buried, used for evil purposes, carried into war, and simply forgotten for generations. 

​This intriguing third and final installment of The Sadamune Blades  spans 400 years. Eventually the swords are offered for sale at Ainsbury's Auction House, London, England where a young sword connoisseur, Yasuko Sakai, who harbours many secrets,  introduces each sword to the audience at the auction house.   

The swords are desired for various reasons by prominent sword collectors, the Japanese Antiquity Police and a high ranking member of the Yakuza. Anyone one of them would kill to own a Sadamune blade, even Sakai. 


Publishing date TBA.
