What if the most important warrior in Japanese history was never supposed to be there?

Torn from his homeland on the shores of Mozambique, Zuberi thought his story was over. Enslaved by Portuguese raiders, forced into military service, shipwrecked on foreign shores—every twist of fate seemed designed to destroy him.

But destiny had other plans.

In feudal Japan, where honor is everything and outsiders are nothing, one man's courage will defy tradition, challenge an empire, and forge an alliance that history forgot to remember.

From the blood-soaked beaches of East Africa to the cherry blossom gardens of Kyoto, The Forgotten Warrior reveals the extraordinary true-to-life tale of how a Mozambican slave became a samurai legend—and how his choices shaped the course of two nations forever.

Some warriors are born to greatness. Others have greatness thrust upon them.

But the greatest warriors are forged in the fires of the impossible.

'A masterpiece of historical fiction that brings forgotten voices to vivid life.'
