It’s Warrior monks are dead.
All except for the five youngest.
From out of the mists the of legend come the five young warriors.
The Five Ancestors
The Five Ancestors is a series that centers on five boys in 16th-century China who grew up in a Buddhist monastery staffed by warrior monks. The story begins in when the secret temple is attacked and destroyed in the opening scene of the first book, and the only survivors are five young warrior monks between the ages of 11 and 13, and each one has already mastered a different style of animal kung fu that's consistent with both their body type and their personality. Recommend for grades 4-7 and those interested in the martial arts, china, or Buddism.
