In this epic story of good vs. evil, a small village defies an oppressive regime and finds freedom through the power of faith. Hidden by the Leaves, book one of S D L Curry’s ‘Hidden Trilogy’, follows Father Joaquim Martinez, a Jesuit Priest in Japan. Living in a small peasant village within the much larger Hizen-province, ruled by the cruel, self-serving Daimyo Matsukura Shigemasa, Father Joaquim and his two young catechists, Miguel and Tanya, risk their lives by defying the banishment order to stay and help the villagers who have become their family. This compelling novel, enriched by S D L’s knowledge of Medieval Japanese history, chronicles Father Joaquim’s and the villagers miracle-filled attempts to escape the clutches of the vicious shogun, the relentless daimyo, and their hordes of powerful samurai.
