His Name is Junsaku by Tenkara Smart

Amidst the grandeur and tradition of feudal Japan, where samurai warriors clash in deadly battles and the shogunate reigns supreme, one man stands out. Junsaku Aoyama, driven by an unshakeable belief in his destiny, is determined to become Japan's greatest samurai. But as Junsaku pursues his dreams, he is faced with a difficult choice when he meets a Lithuanian woman who disembarks a Dutch merchant ship. Caught between his loyalty to his country and his growing love for her, Junsaku must navigate the treacherous waters of honour and duty, even as a mysterious ghost draped in black warns him of impending danger. His Name is Junsaku is the page-turning sequel to She Named Me Wolf, transporting readers to 17th-century Japan, where Junsaku, much like Wolf, encounters a ghost that brings him messages and warnings about his life’s path. As he faces various challenges and opportunities, Junsaku evolves into a skilled warrior and a master of martial arts. Yet, beneath his growing prowess lies a shadow of past-life tragedy that lingers in his soul. Will Junsaku unravel the cryptic meanings of the apparition’s messages before time slips away, or will his past continue to haunt him until it is too late?
