Kamikaze

Kamikaze: A Novel of the Mongol Invasions of Japan is an action-packed historical romance set against Kublai Khan’s bloody thirteenth-century attempts to invade Japan. Off the battlefield, tensions also run high as aristocrat Atsuko and Ichiro, a swordsmith, fall in love. Forbidden by their families from being together, they find themselves on a path toward destiny that is challenged not only by social norms but sword-wielding samurai, pirates, and even a zealous monk.

Award-winning historical fiction author Jeanne Blanchet, PhD, has written the only English-language novel about the Mongol invasions of the Land of the Rising Sun. Blanchet spent five years after earning her doctorate in Asian studies continuing her research in Japan.

Perfect for history buffs, aficionados of action and adventure novels, and those interested in Japan’s fascinating culture, Kamikaze will be a welcome addition to many home libraries.
