Description
When teenage martial arts champion Flower Green competes in the 2020 Olympic Games, her dream of representing her country and winning gold in tae kwon do comes true. Once the excitement fades, she is at loose ends-she won the ultimate prize, so where does she go from there? Against his better judgement, her teacher and mentor, Freddy, reveals that there is only one place he can direct her to learn the highest level of martial arts. The problem is, she will have to leave her family behind and travel halfway across the world alone to face cruelty and harsh conditions under the guidance of Chin, a bitter and unyielding master. As her training pushes her farther than she thought she could ever go, Flower slowly wins over the old man with her dedication and resilience. But will it be enough to allow her to compete in the Dance of Dragons tournament, a secret society of the most skilled and deadly fighters in the world?
