Revenge at last.
Grandmaster is dead!
The bandits displaced!
And the reward is . . . imprisonment?
Change. For years, Ying hated his grandmaster for denying him the opportunity to train as a Dragon, and held a deep resentment for his five younger temple siblings—Grandmaster’s favorites. He took his revenge and burnt the Cangzhen temple to the ground, but the five youngsters survived and continued to be a thorn in his side. Yet, when betrayed by the emperor and imprisoned, it was his younger sister, Hok, who rescued him.
In the fifth installment of Jeff Stone’s groundbreaking 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. Surrounded by corruption, the reluctant Eagle begins to recognize that his future—and the fate of an entire nation—may depend upon him joining forces with…The Five Ancestors.

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.”
