The Five Ancestors
Book 5
Henan Province, China
4348—Year of the Tiger (1650 AD)
Revenge at last.
Grandmaster is dead!
The bandits displaced!
And the reward is . . . imprisonment?
Beaten and dying in the Emperor’s prison, Ying is amazed to be saved by his younger sister, Hok. While recovering, Ying begins to realize the depth of Tonglong’s deception. Has he been a mere pawn? Ying needs time to figure out a plan to get back into the good graces of the Emperor. When his hideout, the Jinan Fight Club, is destroyed, Ying is once again on the run. He must find allies, and he realizes that those allies may have to be the five young monks he has so strenuously sought to kill. Can you trust your enemy? Can you be on the same side?
In the fifth installment of Jeff Stone’s epic series, old allegiances are questioned and new ones are made. Power and greed, with roots as deep as the military and as high as the palace, threaten to destroy China. The Five Ancestors can prevent it, but only if they work together.

What People Are Saying
goodreads -Hira Chaudhary
“I know we've been seeing things from Ying's point of view since the first book, but it was so great to get a whole book from him and seeing how he became the kind of person who could turn his back on the people he had been raised among. I love Ying and how he starts to become better with Hok and ShaoShu, how they make him better and open his heart. I like how he gets to reunite with his mother and learn more about who his father really was, as well as who Grandmaster was to him.”
goodreads -Steen
“I loved this one probably the most of the series. Previously, Ying is shown as the "bad guy,” and though he's done bad things, it's awesome to see he's not so horrible as everyone thinks. It was cool to see him grow from the cruel, selfish dragon to some someone who sees others as people of worth. Very good book, can't wait for the next, because Little Mouse is so cute.”
goodreads -Amy
“I thought that Eagle was the most intimate and most tight story of the five books I've read so far in The Five Ancestors series. Eagle really shined a light on Ying and his psychology."
goodreads -Joy
“The bad guy of this series finally gets his story. A good lesson in learning WHY people become what they are for kids and change is always possible.”
goodreads -Wendy
“Watching Ying regain feeling, finding himself, and come back to what he was is beautiful to watch.”
