Legends of Wingchun: Embers of the Shaolin Rene Ritchie

Boklao, a rogue fighter, and Wingchun, a small town girl-but together they must face the Imperial Army, the Heaven & Earth Rebellion, the Bandits of the Eight Immortals, and a ruthless killer from the very edge of the world, all in a desperate quest to discover the truth behind their own pasts-a truth that threatens the lives of everyone around them-and to unravel the mystery of the Fist of the Elders-the secret martial art that caused the utter destruction of the Shaolin Temple itself... Destiny and consequence collide in the first novel from acclaimed martial arts author René Ritchie. Legends of Wingchun: Embers of the Shaolin brings the classic folk-story behind the fighting system of Bruce Lee to stunning new life in the grandest tradition of the Chinese hero epic (wuxia).
