The little-known story of two rebellious characters: a young aristocrat who rebels against the impositions on her sex and a warrior from the ends of the world with a soul shaken by war.

Blanca, the young sister-in-law of the Carlist pretender to the Spanish crown, decides to learn fencing so that she can fight alongside her husband in the Catalonia campaign. These are the years of the third Carlinada. Okita Sõji, the last bushi of the shõgun's guard in Japan, takes refuge near Perpignan, in the house of the French officer who saved him from defeat. He will be her teacher. Both, the princess and the samurai, will penetrate the harsh lands of La Garrotxa to face their respective destinies.

The Double Life of Okita Sõji is a novel based on the lives of two exceptional historical characters that speaks of courage and overcoming, as well as loyalty, love and honour. It delicately and masterfully portrays a surprising clash of cultures and takes us fully into the paths of La Garrotxa at the end of the 19th century.

An impossible love story during the Third Carlist War. A princess in love, a samurai willing to do anything to help her.
