Powerful samurai swords.
An ancient evil sorcerer rising.
Three siblings torn apart, battle to save themselves, feudal Japan and humanity.
After the traumatic loss of his parents, fifteen-year-old Sam vows to battle his anger and protect his younger sisters.

When a mysterious martial arts master offers to help, Sam surprisingly gets his loved ones back before they’re thrown through time…
Plunged into medieval Japan, Sam discovers he must train in the martial arts night and day, and learn the wisdom of the ancients, if he is to defend secret scrolls and powerful swords from an age-old evil sorcerer. But mastering ancient teachings won’t be enough to defeat the growing Darkness and the evil creatures it spawns. Sam’s sisters must also harness their special abilities before the potent evil consumes the world.
Can the three siblings embrace their unique powers in time to save themselves and prevent the end of humanity?
The Osawa Scrolls is the first book in the coming of age, action-packed, The Sword That Saves YA fantasy series. If you like honorable heroes, swords and sorcrery, samurai warriors, and ancient wisdom, then you’ll love Ambrose Merrell’s time-bending adventure.

A lovely and meaningful story
What an important and valuable set of lessons in a book written for young adults. A truly enjoyable read for those with an interest in the martial arts, and those who have not found these philosophies yet.

This book speaks to the soul. Like a wise master, it guides the student (in this case the reader) to a deepened understanding of the self without the student even knowing it. There are lessons within this book that will stay with me for a lifetime. I didn't want the story to end. I didn't want the learning to end. I felt changed after reading it and cannot wait for what's to come.
