The Kirin Rise Series is back! The Shadows Unleashed the sequel to Kirin Rise The Cast of Shadows. Plus the first issue of the Kirin Rise comic and The Cast of Shadows revised edition.
Kirin Rise Series, a story of a teenage girl who changes the world with a single punch. The Shadows Unleashed takes the series to an entirely new and deeper level. It seems the challenges in Kirin’s life are not only in the ring, but her love life is in disarray, when Hunter and Tobias confront her with their true feelings. There appears to be a greater menace to Kirin’s future than that of Thorne, as a new enemy emerges from the shadows.
The goal of the project is to bring three incredible things to life. First, the sequel to The Cast of Shadows, Kirin Rise The Shadows Unleashed, will be in soft cover format. All the things you loved in The Cast of Shadows will be back from the drawings, along with inspirational quotes, to an incredible new story, which preludes to the next installment of the series.
Second, the comic book is finally ready to debut. Fans loved the detail explanations of all the fight scenes in the book, but they begged to see it in action. Ron Langtiw has done just that by working countless hours to bring one of the most incredible and realistic comic books ever, depicting the art of Wing Chun Gung Fu in action.
Finally, Kirin Rise The Cast of Shadows Second Edition is being released. You’ll notice a brand new cover, with over 30+ new pages added, detailing a deeper meaning to all the quotes. In addition to that, more than 20 new images have been added to the book, giving you an incredible visual of the world of Kirin Rise.
Ed Cruz and Ron Langtiw are the creators of Kirin Rise Series. Ed Cruz has been studying Martial Arts for the last 37 years and continues his focus on the art of Wing Chun Gung Fu. He teaches a handful of dedicated students in the Chicagoland area as part of Windy City Wing Chun Gung Fu. He has a YouTube channel dedicated to teaching Wing Chun with over 17,000 subscribers.
Ron Langtiw from Chicago and a child of the 80′s, Ron has always been a fan of Saturday morning cartoons and kung fu. He learned to draw by watching his older brother draw and tracing his drawings. Life happened and Ron found himself in a career as an Information Technology manager.
Ron met Ed De La Cruz in 2000 and began formally studying Wing Chun in 2004. By 2012, the timing worked out to begin artwork again which prompted Ed to approach him with the idea that would become Kirin Rise.
