Twenty youths were sent out to become defenders of their village. Seventeen lived to return - knowing one year was not enough.
Thirteen-year-old Chu Jeng is the youngest. The smallest. The last anyone expects to survive the trials ahead.
When bandits murder his uncle and the village Elders send their young men out to find a war art master, Chu Jeng refuses to be left behind. Before any master will teach him, he must stand at a gate through a full day and night just to be let in, and the road ahead will test far more than his fists. Who deserves to be called a warrior? What is honor worth when no one is watching? How does a boy become a man when the world offers him nothing but hardship as a teacher?
This is Wuxia for readers who want more than tournament arcs and power fantasy: the story of what martial arts was always meant to be about. Written by a Kung Fu Master with nearly fifty years of teaching behind him, founder of a real Fighting Tong Brotherhood.
