Book Overview: More than 350 years ago in China, a 16-year-old renegade monk called Ying led a brutal attack on his former temple. Only five young warrior monks managed to escape. Each young monk specialized in a different style of animal kung fu that reflected both his body type and personality. These young monks are known as The Five Ancestors. Their fight is not for vengeance, but for justice and most importantly, for the very future of China.
