Plates of Kokoro & the Jawshok Emperor

Volume 1 of the Plates of Kokoro series.

Legend says if the mystical plates of the Kokoro Temple aren't returned to their resting place, the world will never be the same. The caretaker there, Master Ernshu, assigns Ataza, a young martial artist who desires nothing more than a purpose, to complete the task of finding all seven plates. Each plate is made of a different metal of antiquity and is represented by one of Kokoro's animal arts. Ataza trains in the eagle art to aid his quest around the world. Tanin, the Jawshok Emperor and member of the shark art, is also on the hunt for the plates. Ataza must complete his mission, confront some of Earth's greatest creatures, and take on the entire Jawshok Empire in the process, including the cruel emperor. Along the way, he learns lessons about life, makes a team of martial artists, and puts his abilities to the test in a tournament that could decide the fate of the plates. Whenever something goes right, a twist follows. Will the plates make it home and be saved? Join Ataza on his thrilling adventure of action, mystery, faith, and good versus evil.
