Historical Fiction
The Secret of the Golden Fan
A Tale of Love, Identity, and Redemption in the Fading Light of the Edo Era
It was the year 1851, and the cherry blossoms in the sacred temple garden of Fushimi, Kyoto, were fast approaching their annual bloom. The delicate pink petals, like wisps of silk, were whispering secrets to the wind, their beauty so fleeting that it was said the gods themselves had created them to remind mortals of the transience of life.Among the rustling leaves and ancient stone lanterns, a young geisha named Emiko awaited the return of her mentor, the venerable Okami-san.
