A Stranger In Iki

He was a prince, a hero shaped by war, until quicksand stole his past and cast him into another world. Falah, once an honored Arabian knight, awakens on Iki: a samurai island bracing for a Mongol invasion. Deaf and unable to speak the language, he becomes a stranger in a strange land, stripped of every skill and certainty he once relied on. To survive, he must relearn the world from the ground up and confront the terrifying truth that his identity might vanish with the desert he left behind. Shogo is the heir to Iki and commander of its samurai. He carries the weight of a nation on the brink. Enemies gather at the shores, betrayal coils in the shadows, and a cunning new adversary threatens everything he was born to protect. When Falah stumbles into his path, Shogo begins to suspect that this foreign knight may be the key to a war he cannot win alone. In a land where blades speak louder than words, two warriors from different worlds may hold the fate of Iki in their hands. For fans who like culture-clash fantasy, slow-burn bonds forged in war, sword duels, young leaders facing impossible choices, and character-driven stories.
