Under the Dragon’s Shadow is the first installment in the Flying Dragon story – and are you in for a treat!
At the core of the story is Jon Fenton, a young martial arts student. He isn’t after money or power, his only desire is to learn from the greatest kung fu masters and honor the path his Sifu set him on. After crossing paths with a notorious and feared gang, the Flying Dragons, he learns of their intentions to dispose of him. His life, and the life of his family will forever be changed by this, finding Jon on the run with a million dollars and the goal of self-preservation. He traverses the gritty backstreets of New York to martial art schools of China. While Jon’s journey is dangerous, he faces deeper questions about loyalty, sacrifice, and the cost of pursuing one’s dreams with his choices shaping not only his fate, but the lives of his family nearly two decades later.
Under the Dragon’s Shadow is a masterful blend of action-packed martial arts with the philosophy, crime drama and historical adventure. Schulman presents us a story that is not only thrilling and thought-provoking, it’s about chasing a dream regardless the cost.
Schulman’s writing is sharp, vivid and cinematic. We are immersed in the intense fight scenes that burst with energy, with a story that lies beneath rich in discipline, identity, and meaning. Balancing pulse-pounding moments with those of quiet reflection, readers are given more than just a memory of a high-stakes thriller. Underlying questions about loyalty, sacrifice, courage and the relentless pursuit of one’s path linger on much longer than the thrills.
If you enjoy martial arts, crime thrillers, and epic character-driven stories that keep pages turning, Under the Dragon’s Shadow is one you should bump on your TBR. It’s thrilling, emotional, and absolutely unforgettable, gripping you from the first page and never letting go – definitely a powerful start to the Flying Dragon Series.
