Brief Description:
The first novel in a sweeping YA fantasy duology based on characters and
teachings created by Bruce Lee! Sixteen-year-old Jun dreams of proving his
worth as a warrior in the elite Guardian’s Tournament, held every six years
to entrust the magical Scroll of Heaven to a new protector. Eager to prove
his skills, Jun hopes that a win will restore his father’s pride—righting a
horrible mistake that caused their banishment from his home, mother, and
twin brother. But Jun’s father strictly forbids him from participating. He
believes there is no future in Jun honing his skills as a warrior,
especially considering Jun is not breathmarked, born with a patch of dragon
scales and blessed with special abilities like his twin. Determined to be
the next Guardian, Jun stows away in the wagon of Chang and his daughter,
Ren, performers on their way to the capital where the tournament will take
place. As Jun competes, he quickly realizes he may be fighting for not just
a better life, but the fate of the country itself and the very survival of
everyone he cares about.
