Young Vajra was especially gifted, but swears a secret oath of revenge when his brother dies. Their method - abduct their enemies' children and train them as killers for the Emperor.
~ Jason Buchanan, Roviīefore the West entered World War II, a Japanese death cult called the Temple of Hades is ordered to aid in the spiritual destruction of China. Now, the very people who shaped Vajra into a lethal weapon will find out just how much damage he can really do. But Vajra has never forgiven the temple for causing the death of his brother, and after escaping back to China, he begins a grueling campaign to bring down the Temple of Hades with his bare hands. Years later, Vajra (former Shaolin monk Xing Yu) has earned a reputation as the Emperor's top assassin. Vajra was just 8-years-old when he was torn from his family in China, and forced to kill for Japan's nefarious Temple of Hades. A young Chinese boy assimilated into a Japanese death cult makes a clandestine vow to seek revenge on his ruthless captors, and safeguard his homeland from spiritual destruction.
