In a remote mountain village in Hong Kong, Annalee Montague grapples with a mysterious past and a unique identity. Raised by her wise shifu, she learns that true strength lies within, not in outward appearances. Immersed in the ways of kung fu, Annalee's world is shaken when she crosses paths with the haughty Duke of Kensington, Hugh Edwin Kingsley. As the Duke's exploitative schemes threaten her community, Annalee must navigate a treacherous path between loyalty and self-discovery. Will she stand tall against injustice, even as her own people question her allegiance? Annalee's journey is a riveting tale of courage, identity, and the power of choice in a world of conflicting loyalties.

In the glittering world of Hong Kong's elite, Hugh Kingsley's unfaltering grasp on money and power is unquestioned until a chance encounter with a mysterious woman who uncannily resembles a childhood companion threatens to unravel his carefully constructed world. Despite their mutual animosity, the enigmatic Annalee exerts an inexplicable magnetism on Hugh, leading him on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery.

She didn't know when he'd gotten so close to her, but her eyes burned as she read the slight expression that flashed across his own eyes... sorrow, as if perhaps remembering something, or someone from his past.

Despite being the daughter of a white martial arts "pendekar", Wening was dead set on ditching the so-called 'noble path' for its darker counterpart. Her father decided to stick with those pretentious principles and now he was dead. Disguising herself as a young man, Wening roamed the land to find the perfect teacher of the black "silat" martial arts. Until one day, by a curious twist of fate, she stumbled upon Kelana Klawu, the mysterious "pendekar silat" whose deadly reputation preceded himself. *** Throwing herself to the ground, Wening groveled so low she practically kissed the dirt. "O' Venerable Guru, The Mighty Terror and Harbinger of Doom, please accept this humble one as your disciple!" Kneading his temple, Kelana Klawu groaned. "For a hundred times, I'm not your guru and I don't- can't- won't take any disciple," he sighed exasperatedly. "In fact, I'm looking for a teacher myself. A white martial arts guru." "WHAT?" Wening snapped her head up. "B-but... WHY?" "Believe me, you don't want me to be your teacher." "I don't?" "You're doing this because you heard I used to be an heir of a famous black martial arts school," Kelana Klawu said with a surprising patience, "but the truth is... I think I was probably adopted." *** [ONC 2021] Prompt #44 - Adventure/Action/Historical Fiction "When a raid on an enemy encampment goes awry, a child is taken in and raised by those they were brought up to believe were vile and monstrous." - ROUND 2 QUALIFIER - ROUND 1 Ambassadors Picks List
