Way of the Warrior: Jane and the Samurai

By Kaye D. Proctor

Jane Sato has always been proud to be a Japanese American, but just as proud to be the librarian for Buffalo County, Wyoming. Her finest achievements are managing a library, marrying a Japanese man, divorcing him against her parent's wishes, and moving on. David Nakamura was a nice guy, but a terrible match for her. Was it too much to ask for a girl to love the man she married? With trepidation and social courage, she thought not.

Asakura Yoshimasa is a samurai on a vengeance quest to kill the evil wizard that murdered his father. In ancient Japan, the son of a powerful samurai could do no less. His clan wished him well but said goodbyes they knew could be final.

When Jane is gifted an ancient samurai sword to display at her library, she was elated. Clues in the scabbard of the weapon made her believe that it might be of her own ancestors. She might know this immortal sword, but when she holds it in her hands, Jane feels as if the sword knows her instead.

Two valiant souls with nothing in common except their shared heritage must summon every ounce of courage to stay alive. If they are successful, the prize will be survival, but could it also be love?

Way of the Warrior is a tale of history, culture, honor, and evil. Love is a scarce commodity in ancient Japan, but also a powerful force. Can love triumph over centuries, culture shock, and dark forces that seem to always win? Join Jane and Asakura on their breathtaking journey to know the answer.
