A Sudden Dawn
by Goran Powell
(author of Waking Dragons)
This epic historical fiction novel opens with a young man named Sardili born of the Indian warrior caste in 507AD.
Sardili realizes that he would rather seek enlightenment than follow his family's military legacy and sets out on a life-long quest for truth and wisdom.
Sardili becomes the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma, known as Da Mo in China. He travels throughout India, brings Buddhism to China, and establishes the Shaolin Temple as the birthplace of Zen and the Martial Arts.
