Book One of The Savage Chronicles
Honor. Tradition. Power.
Seventeen-year-old Steve Savage has spent his entire life in Singapore, raised by a legendary Chinese martial arts family despite his British heritage. When family secrets force him to leave everything he's ever known, Steve is sent halfway around the world to Bay City-a place where ancient traditions, organized crime, and modern America collide.
Determined to honor the values that shaped him, Steve struggles to adapt to a culture that often seems loud, confusing, and morally uncertain. But Bay City hides secrets of its own.
Beneath its colorful neighborhoods and bustling streets lies an underground world ruled by powerful Chinese tongs, mysterious martial arts masters, and rival schools whose feuds stretch back generations. When Steve rescues a beautiful young woman from a violent abduction in Chinatown, he unknowingly steps into a conflict far older-and far more dangerous-than he realizes.
As Steve searches for answers about his own mysterious family history, he is drawn into a hidden martial world where honor is tested, loyalties are uncertain, and every fight carries consequences. Between new friendships, unexpected romance, ruthless rivals, and ancient traditions, Steve must decide what kind of warrior-and what kind of man-he is destined to become.
For in Bay City, strength alone is never enough.
Sometimes the greatest battle is discovering who you truly are.
White Tiger Awakens is the thrilling first novel in The Savage Chronicles, blending authentic martial arts, coming-of-age adventure, mystery, romance, and cinematic action into an unforgettable journey inspired by the classic kung fu films of the Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers era.
