The Jade Lion

This is a Fairy Tale that's never been told before, about a boy on a 20 year quest for vengeance after his mothers death; the fulfillment of an ancient legend; a bow and sword competition; and his meeting a girl who may get in the way of his plans for revenge.When young Fallon sees his mother and their friends needlessly killed, he vows revenge against the king of the Northern Province whom he blames for their deaths. To help him, an ancient legend has promised the boy two wishes, and he may need them after he meets a beautiful girl who's on a mission of her own; a journey leads the two of them to enter a competition in the courtyard of the king's castle at Shadow Lake.
