Shan Westfall-half-Chinese, half-American, one hundred percent kungfu badass-is on a mission to recover five mystical jade animals before they fall into the wrong hands.

Over fifteen years ago, Shan's mother led a secret society of female martial artists sworn to protect the statues. When the Jade Circle lost four of the five statues during a murderous attack on their sanctuary, twelve-year-old Shan's destiny was sealed. It was she who carried the remaining tiger statue all the way to America; she who felt it clawing at her with the need to recover the crane, snake, leopard, and dragon. The Circle was destroyed that night, and Shan hasn't seen her mother since.

Shan has grown up under the tiger's unforgiving influence and the shadow of her mother's legacy. Her quest to recover the statues takes her to upstate New York and Ian Dashall, a geeky but brave archaeology professor, and then on to France and England with Ian at her side. Finally, on a secret island off the coast of Hong Kong, Shan overcomes torture, betrayal, and deadly tigers in order to battle the man who destroyed the Jade Circle. But even as she faces off with him, she loses hope. How can she possibly succeed where her mother had failed?

Jade Tiger was first published as the lead title of Juno Books (now an imprint of Pocket), a line launched in 2006 specializing in fantasy featuring strong female characters in richly imagined contexts. This is the first eBook edition.

"Flying kicks, heart-stopping spins and amazing somersaults propel the action. Reese choreographs both the romantic moves and the martial arts with flair." -Publishers Weekly
