2025’s Breath of the Dragon is the first of two volumes in Fonda Lee and Shannon Lee1’s secondary-universe fantasy Breathmarked duology.
When two warriors with special powers (warriors known as Aspects of Virtue) arrive to collect Jun’s twin brother Sai for training as an Aspect, six-year-old Jun is outraged. While Breathmarked Sai’s gift allows him to copy perfectly other people’s martial arts skills, mundane Jun has trained hard to be a skilled martial artist.
East Longhan forbids common folk from learning martial arts. The end result of proud Jun’s display of prowess is that Jun and his father are exiled to West Longhan for five years.
Ten years later, Jun and his father are still in West Longhan.
