Yara Yasmin
In the late 16th century, during a time of active maritime trade between Southeast Asia and Japan, a young woman named Yara Yasmin is taken from her homeland and presented as a diplomatic gift to a powerful Japanese lord. Separated from everything she has ever known, Yara expects to live as property in a foreign land. Instead, she encounters a quiet and honourable daimyo who treats her with dignity. They do not share a common language. She speaks Malay and Arabic prayers from her upbringing. He speaks Japanese and carries the burdens of power. Through patient language lessons, cultural exchange, and growing trust, the two slowly fall in love. But political enemies, rigid customs, and Yara's uncertain status threaten to separate them.
