Twenty-five years ago a pair of lovers ran from an angry prince and washed up on an island where they took on new identities.Their eldest child, a natural martial artist like his father, seems destined for great things. The second son is an artist and a dreamer, and Mouse, the youngest-used to wearing her brothers' clothes while trotting at their heels-is regarded by everyone as a third brother.All three were raised to keep their parents' secret, but in this first volume they discover that children have their own paths, and parents cannot hold them back, especially when an omen drops out of the sky . . .
The last installment of The Phoenix Feather martial arts epic, which readers are acclaiming as a spiritual cousin to The Goblin Emperor, puts the entire Afan family in action. Once hiding on an obscure island, the elders are drawn into empire affairs, the parents, in seeking their children, as the emperor seeks them. Muin's skills as a commander brings him to prominence in a terrible battle. Yskanda, imperial prisoner, transcends political boundaries through art-and comes to grip with his talents.Prince Jion, once a powerless wanderer, comes into his own as his beloved Ari inspires the world as Firebolt, before the two of them together face the most terrifying enemy of all. Inspired by the great Chinese epics such as Water Margin and Dream of Red Chamber as well as wuxia and xuanhuan series such as Nirvana in Fire and Joy of Life, the four volumes of this story sweep from the imperial military academy to wandering martial artists, from the poetic philosophizing of imperial courtiers to the everyday affairs of an innkeeper-and from the human world to the realm of the transcendent, before racing to a triumphant close.
In the third volume of the epic martial arts adventure, Redbark has broken up. And the three Afans have chosen their paths. Yskanda lives day to day in the silken prison of the imperial court, hiding amidst his paints until a life-changing encounter.Prince Jion returns to the imperial palace in disgrace, as Ryu, tired of disguises, begins to take her own name. When she isn't crusading as Firebolt--and causing hunters on both sides to come after her.
In this next volume of the epic martial arts adventure the children of the exiles and of the emperor test the boundaries of imperial power and intrigue.
A wicked shaman traps a golden eagle and disguises her as a phoenix. She is to be a pawn in his villainous scheme to swindle the townsfolk out of their money, but will he succeed? 'The Phoenix & The Peacock' is an atheist short story for teenagers. They will enjoy the use of rhyme, the emotive plot and the inclusion of some remarkable birds as metaphors. It is also subtly educational. Not only does it introduce the philosophies of both science and humanism but, through the comfortable medium of exciting fiction, it gently warns of the dangers of ultra-religious cults. The book's goal is to be light, engaging and thought-provoking; to succeed in conveying a message where a long prescriptive factual tome would surely bore and fail. At the end there is a 'Did You Know?' section full of interesting scientific facts related to the story, including an explanation of Darwin's Theory of Evolution. 11+ years
