The most powerful warrior you've never heard of is about to change everything you thought you knew about history. In 1543, when Portuguese ships first reached Japanese shores, they carried more than just trade goods and Christian missionaries. Hidden among their crew was Zuberi—a Mozambican warrior who had survived enslavement, military conscription, and a devastating shipwreck that would deposit him on the beaches of a land unlike anything he had ever imagined. What happens when an African warrior meets the samurai code? Stripped of everything but his unbreakable will to survive, Zuberi must navigate a world where honor means death, loyalty demands sacrifice, and a single misstep could cost him his life. In feudal Japan's rigid society, he is an impossibility—a dark-skinned outsider who somehow earns the respect of samurai lords and the love of a nobleman's daughter. But as Portuguese influence spreads across Japan, Zuberi faces an agonizing choice: remain loyal to the country that enslaved him, or defend the homeland that accepted him as family. From the author of acclaimed historical fiction comes an epic tale of: Cultural collision and unlikely brotherhood Honor, betrayal, and the true meaning of home Love that transcends racial and cultural boundaries The forgotten stories that shaped our world Based on extensive historical research, The Forgotten Warrior illuminates the remarkable true-to-life events when African, Portuguese, and Japanese cultures first collided—and reveals how one man's courage changed the destiny of nations. Perfect for readers of James Clavell's Shogun, Wilbur Smith's adventure epics, and anyone fascinated by the hidden stories of history. Discover the warrior history forgot. Experience the legend it couldn't ignore.
