JAMIE REIGN: THE LAST SPIRIT WARRIOR

A stunning new middle-grade fantasy series by debut novelist, Jamie Reign is an oriental Ranger’s Apprentice.

Jamie Reign was born twelve years ago, on the first day of the Chinese Year of the Dragon. This supposedly auspicious start in life hasn?t been much use to him, living a loveless existence with his neglectful father on a salvage boat. Jamie?s mother Mayling died on the day he was born. When Jamie inadvertently summons some fiery orbs from the air to tackle some local bullies, he doesn?t understand that he has tapped into The Way, the universal energy source, and in doing so he sets off a chain of events with unforeseen consequences. Whisked away by the mysterious Mr Fan to the Chia Wu, a school for students with special abilities, Jamie is taken under the wing of the legendary Kung Fu Master Wu. It is believed by Master Wu and his staff that Jamie is the Last Spirit Warrior, and as such his life?s purpose is to right the dreadful wrongs (climatic and political) taking place in the world. But not everyone believes so - and Jamie himself has doubts. What use is a Spirit Warrior who is hopeless at Kung Fu? Paula Tierney has a degree in writing from the University of Wollongong and a career behind the scenes at some of the world’s biggest events. She has worked alongside Madonna and been called ‘Babe’ by BB King. She was pushed aside by Elton John’s security and has a story involving U2 and a moment captured in perpetuity that leaves her looking a little inept but seems to amuse her friends. Jamie Reign is based on her partner’s childhood; a half-caste boy abandoned by one parent, neglected by the other, growing up on the barges, shipwrecks and fringes of Hong Kong. Paula is an impressive writer with a clear vision for the Jamie Reign series and the creative ability to promote it.
