Adventures at Crane Temple - Hardcover

"Each of you have been paired with a soul creature. Today you will meet, and every day from now on you will honor this pairing and become one. Your Protector will present your soul creature to you, and you shall fulfill initiation by placing your hand into the covered cage, waiting for its bite. Once bitten, you shall never part. Your bond will be unto death, and life, and there-after." Born bearing the mark of the tiger's claw, Shu Shao, a young warrior, and his companions prepare for their first quest. Newly bonded with their soul creatures, the four warriors finish their training, readying themselves for the perilous journey ahead. Throughout the course of their preparations, the warriors get their first glimpse of the darkness that hunts them. Adventures at Crane Temple is the first book of the Spirit Warrior series that immerses readers into a ceremonious hidden world of deeper meaning. The book explores the interconnectedness between natural and spiritual realms while developing a theme of the battle between a heavenly kingdom and the underworld.
