A scandalous coverup that includes the President's wife (a woman with ambitions of her own) and the mysterious deaths of everyone who comes too close to the truth, makes The Grand Master a riveting tale of conspiracy and espionage. Senator Bobby Hart agrees to look into the rapidly covered up murder of the President by a pricey call girl and finds he has become a target in an international plot directed by one of the world's wealthiest, and most mysterious, men. Dodging gunmen in the back alleys of Paris, the Senator traces his way to the source of the operation, only to find out that the one he suspects to be pulling the strings has, in reality, a completely different plan...

Joel was tricked into joining an organization he knew little about. At the age of thirteen, he was taken to a school where he would train in martial arts, weapons handling, maintenance, and more. He trains for five years at the school where he also developed unbreakable binds, uneasy alliances, and powerful enemies. Joel must learn how to survive the school and all challenges thrown at him. At the end of each year, there are trials. Each form in the school must participate in their trial ranging from races against others, hiding, protecting, and escaping, but the core of every trial is the same—they must survive. Each year, Joel must make tough decisions that may benefit his friends or make the choices to please his masters. Each choice he makes causes a war to rage inside his body, leaving Joel disconnected from the rest of the world and sometimes himself. His years at the training school require both physical and mental strength. Can he make it through the next five years of his life? Or will his body and mind break from the high demands of his masters and friends?
