Bound by Honor: Yasuke's Vow to Protect the Innocent
A historical fiction about Japan's first African Samurai. Yasuke, born in colonial Mozambique, grew up seeing horrific things. His people were tormented daily, and nothing was set in stone. Every day was a constant struggle to stay ahead and out of trouble's gaze until one fateful day. Alessandro Valignano, an Italian missionary, found Yasuke walking along a trail one day and stopped him. He was impressed by his size and the look in his eyes. Valignano knew that Yasuke (known as Isaque at that time) would be the perfect servant on his journey overseas. Without much of a choice, Yasuke left his home and his family, now in servitude to a man whose morals were not fully aligned. He traveled to different countries, escorting Valignano and protecting him and his assets.
