With an action-packed plot that has already earned high praise from internationally bestselling author John Flanagan – whose Ranger's Apprentice series has sold more than ten million copies worldwide – PJ Tierney's debut will draw even the most reluctant readers into a world of shipwrecks, kung fu, mystery and danger.
Jamie Reign can't read a word, but he can handle a tugboat better than most. While diving on an uncharted reef, he discovers a terrible force that exposes his connection to a group of ancient warriors and the warlord intent on destroying them all. He must quickly learn kung fu and the secret skills of the mystical Warriors of the Way, guided by Jade, who seems intent on making him fail, and Wing, who is even worse than Jamie is at kung fu.
Jamie's past and the future of these ancient warriors are inexplicably linked. And as the two collide, Jamie and his new friends set off on a desperate mission to save them all.
PJ Tierney grew up in the Blue Mountains where every day was an adventure. She studied creative writing at the University of Wollongong, and it was there she discovered the magic of theatre. After graduating, she went into concert management. Since then, she has worked with everyone from Madonna and U2 to The Eagles and Elton John. Meeting Jackie Chan and spending six months working on the boats and barges of Hong Kong were the two events that inspired the story of Jamie Reign.
