This is book one of an epic young adult Asian American fantasy adventure where Clara Wu, Sung Kim, Yuka Satoh and Daniel Nguyen must battle an ominous evil to save the world. But they are not alone as they are paired up with their trustworthy Guardians, the panda, white tiger, red crown crane and the water buffalo. Follow them as they unlock spectacular powers that they never knew they had, until they step into the World of Azen. Clara stared down hopelessly at the glistening shards of the Bamboo Jade that was supposed to be unbreakable. She looked up to see the rabid mayhem all about her as the elite battle pandas protectively encircled her from the Warlock's fiery creatures. Just a few weeks ago, she was a typical Chinese American teenager from New York City until she was whisked away into the realm of Azen, where she became the Panda Empress Warrior. Her eyes darted above the pandas' helmets as she saw her fellow warriors fighting the horde of creatures from above. Sung, Yuka and Daniel were frantically casting their dwindling powerful elements. Fatigue was taking a toll on them along with the armies of the Tiger, Crane and Buffalo Kingdoms. They had fought the first half of the arduous battle and were counting on Clara and the Panda Kingdom army to defeat the last of the creatures. Then they broke through the last barrier. Suddenly, her eyes bulged as a fiery creature leapt over the battle pandas; its claws outstretched toward her as fire glowed from its snapping jaw. But before it could sink its claws into her, the end of a bamboo spear struck its head, slamming it to the ground. The Guardian Panda came into view and took one last glance at her before he turned away to make one last stand. Clara felt her courage abandon her as she was supposed to protect the Panda Kingdom but they were on the precipice of loss. Her eyes fell on her wrist, and the jewel glistened back at her. Instinctively, she reached out for it and knew it was their last hope. An immersive epic fantasy steeped in Asian themes that will allow Asian American teens, children and even adults, to see themselves in story, as heroes. A story aimed at better Asian Representation!

This is book three of Clara Wu Books. Clara Wu is excited to rejoin her friends Sung Kim, Yuka Satoh and Daniel Nguyen in preparation for the next battle against the Warlock's demon-spawned army. But a tragic mistake leaves one of her friends in peril and the well laid plans for Azen's defense are put in jeopardy. Everything hinges on Clara embarking on a daring rescue mission to save her friend, from the Warlock. Clara had been silently flying atop the crane for some time. The knots in her stomach were twisted so tight, she thought they would sheer apart at any moment and tear her insides out. She looked up as the cool night air whisked by her cheeks like sharp daggers. Her eyes looked about her and she could barely see the small stealthy Top Talon squadron against the dark of night. But she knew they were there and were probably as anxious as she was. Everything depended on a successful rescue so that they could make it back in time for the next battle. Without all the Azen Warriors at the battlefront, the Azen armies would not stand a chance against the unrelenting Warlock's army. Azen cannot fall, she thought as she let out a sigh of hopelessness. She thumbed the comforting feel of the Bamboo Jade to calm her anxiousness when her crane whispered, "Empress Warrior Wu, we are almost there." Clara looked up and she saw it in the distance. It was faint but she could make out the large silhouette of some forbidding structure jutting out of a mountain side. It was the Warlock's fortress, and somewhere inside was her fellow warrior that needed rescue before it was too late. Start your journey with book one, Clara Wu and the Portal Book. Be immersed in a fantasy where Asian American readers can see themselves in story as heroes and where their allies can see them as heroes.

This is Book 4 of the exciting Clara Wu and the World of Azen series. Begin your adventures with Book 1, Clara Wu and the Portal Book, followed by Book 2, Clara Wu and the Jade Labyrinth, and then onto Book 3, Clara Wu and the Rescue. * * * Clara Wu felt the weight in the pit of her stomach as her red crown crane, Shiori, flew toward the tall rocky reddish and orange Sky Pillars. It was the final battle against the Warlock's most powerful creatures and if she, Sung Kim, Yuka Satoh and Daniel Nguyen could just defeat them, Azen would be safe. Despite being victorious in the last three battles, she wondered why she couldn't shake off the looming doom. * * * The clash of horns was cataclysmic between the armored water buffalos and the thick green hide of the Nians, spawned from the deepest demonic depths that the Warlock conjured them from. Clara sliced through the air atop her faithful crane as her eyes bulged as crimson-splattered-dust was violently kicked up into the air by pounding hooves. The tigers were gone, the cranes and eagles were powerless and the panda mounted defenses, though formidable, would not hold. She looked up and saw a tornado spiral to its full size as Yuka pointed frantically to Daniel. He directed a stream of fire into it just as the closest Nians were sucked up into the fiery tornado. Clara turned suddenly and saw Sung desperately sending down lethal icicles into the horde of Nians. There wasn't supposed to be so many of them and she had no idea how so many could have emerged from the canyon to confront the mighty water buffalos. Shiori, her trusty crane, banked hard and Clara leaned into the turn and she suddenly saw it. The reason why the Nians were able to amplify their ferocious onslaught. She directed Shiori toward the source as she loaded two green jade tipped arrows into the Bow of Destiny. She drew back and in that bated breath, knew it was Azen's only hope. * * * An immersive epic fantasy steeped in Asian themes that will allow Asian American teens, children and even adults, to see themselves in story as heroes.
