Be transported to a place like no other—a tiny, man-made island in the bay of Nagasaki, which for two hundred years was the sole gateway between Japan and the West. Here, in the dying days of the 18th century, a young Dutch clerk arrives to make his fortune. Instead, he loses his heart. Step onto the streets of Dejima and mingle with scheming traders, spies, interpreters, servants, and concubines as two cultures converge. In a tale of integrity and corruption, passion and power, the key is control—of riches and minds, and over death itself.
