A family trip to China. An old martial arts school. A forgotten diary. And a mystery buried for generations. Tennessee Tasha and Baltimore Bri are older now, but adventure still seems to have a way of finding them. When Papasan takes Tasha, Bri, and their dad to a remote village in China, the trip is supposed to be an opportunity to explore an important part of their family history—the place where their ancestor Bari once trained under the legendary Master Sun. Among the ruins of Master Sun's old school, the family discovers a hidden diary that begins to reveal a remarkable story. Long before Bari came to America, he was a young African far from home, taken in by Master Sun and given a chance to build a new life. What began as secret observation became years of training in martial arts, discipline, strategy, and wisdom. But before the family can uncover the entire story, their peaceful visit takes a dangerous turn. A carefully planned attack leaves them with more questions than answers. Someone knows they are in China. Someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to find them. And whatever is happening may be connected to a past that even Papasan does not fully understand. To discover the truth, Tasha will have to rely on her sharp mind and ability to see what others miss. Bri will discover just how far her remarkable speed and instincts have developed. Dad must balance protecting his daughters with trusting the young women they are becoming. And Papasan will return to the lessons of Master Sun to confront a challenge that reaches across generations. SHADOWS OF MASTER SUN is an action-packed story of family, courage, martial arts, mystery, and the responsibility that comes with inheriting a legacy. Because the past can shape who we are—but it does not have to decide who we become.
