Amara: The Rise of the Shadow Blossoms - Paperback

In 16th-century feudal Japan, Yasuke, the first Black samurai, embarks on a harrowing journey after the tragic downfall of his lord, Oda Nobunaga. After escaping the grasp of his past captors, he discovers he has a daughter, Amara, whose spirit and heritage set her apart in a society bound by strict norms.

As a ruthless warlord's ambition casts a shadow over Japan, threatening to plunge the country into further chaos, Yasuke and Amara find themselves caught in the tides of history. Under Yasuke's guidance, Amara learns the way of the warrior, arming herself with the strength to defy the oppressive forces shaping their world.

Together with a band of young girls impacted by feudal oppression, Amara faces the challenges of a realm under the thumb of a warlord whose quest for power knows no bounds. How far would you go to protect the ones you love? For Amara, the answer lies in her blade, wielded against the very traditions that seek to restrain her as she navigates a nation on the brink of transformation.

Amara's tale is a stirring saga of resilience and rebellion, a test of internal strength and empathy within a warrior's heart, fighting for freedom against the backdrop of a nation in turmoil.
