Critics Review

‘A terrific ‘what if’ time-travel novel with an intriguing historical element, epic battles, and a dash of romance.’ Adrian Cousins, author of The Jason Apsley series

Refreshingly original… A stunning debut.’ Jason Ayres, author of The Time Bubble series

Gate to Kagoshima is an action-packed adventure that opens in Scotland and makes its way to Kagoshima, Japan, as our heroine flees the ghosts of relationships past only to find new loves—and new heartbreak.
