Sword and Mirror Kate Grove

You think surviving in the 21st century is hard? Try 16th-century Japan!




Ciara's living a nightmare; five years ago she lost her mother and crippled her hands in a car accident... and she's pretty sure her magic is to blame.




Now the once-master pianist has been plunged back in time to a war-torn medieval Japan. Further complicating things, she's thrust dead-center of a battle between two powerful samurai lords. In order to survive, she accepts the dubious safety offered by the lesser of two evils, Katsuo. But Katsuo has a dark secret of his own... one that could ruin his entire territory.




Now the fake fiancée of Katsuo, she knows she needs to find her way home-fast. She must learn about her magic or perish thanks to supernatural beings intent on destroying her. Surrounded by danger, Ciara's sure things can't get worse... until Katsuo's old enemy shows up targeting her.




In a fight between life and death, Ciara certainly never expects to fall in love. She's a modern woman falsely engaged to a feudal samurai lord. What future could they possibly have together? Will they survive to find out? And if the choice comes to go home will she choose Katsuo in spite of his secret?
