Yasuke, once an African slave who rose to become Japan’s most feared and trusted samurai, finally wins his freedom and returns to his homeland—only to discover a destiny far greater than the one he left behind. In Africa, he is thrust into a fractured empire and bound to Princess Danai, a fierce ruler determined to claim her throne despite traditions that demand a king at her side. What begins as a political union ignites into a powerful, forbidden bond as they fight to unite their worlds. He is shaped by the discipline of the samurai, hers forged in the fire of African royalty. But betrayal, dark magic, and war tear them apart, forcing Yasuke into captivity and Danai into battle. As empires crumble and ancient forces rise, the two must fight their way back to each other, their love becoming the spark that could save a nation...or burn everything to the ground.
