Influenced by anime, video games, and Hong Kong cinema, "One
Star Hero" features dynamic combat and unique characters
FRIDLEY,
Minn., May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When he
was younger Yimje Lee loved watching his martial arts idols,
Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, on the big screen. As he got older,
his imagination grew, and he began crafting his own fantasy worlds.
Now, he Introduces readers to a world of monsters, magic, and epic
battles in his new book, "One Star
Hero."
The book follows the story of 16-year-old fisherman Eden Alistar
as he pursues his dream of becoming a Legion. Gifted with celestial
weapons, Legions are elite soldiers who face otherworldly monsters
called Menaces. When the day of his summoning arrives, Eden reaches
into the void, pulling out a shield with a single gray
eight-pointed star on it. The single star on his shield labels him
as a "one star," the lowest possible rank.
Readers can familiarize themselves with characters through
portraits found at the beginning of the book, as well as other
images of important moments found throughout the book, all
illustrated by Mustafa Ejaz.
Eden's low ranking earns him ridicule and even prevents him from
participating in Legion training camp. Determined to make his dream
a reality, with the assistance of his adoptive father Sanders, he
takes his training into his own hands, allowing him to stand up to
those who discriminated against him.
"As soon as Eden thinks his dream is within his grasp, it's
ripped away," Lee explained. "But he doesn't give up. I hope that
others resonate with his underdog story and find inspiration in
it."
Determined to prove himself, Eden sets out on a journey to
become a true hero of legend, facing obstacles, finding friends and
allies, and fighting to achieve his dream.

About the author
Yimje Lee grew up dreaming of having superpowers and becoming a
superhero, but he knew that was impossible. Working at typical jobs
was boring, so he created fictional stories in his mind to pass the
time, realizing there was a way for him to become a superhero: by
writing stories. Lee's imagination is expansive and is inspired by
novels, movies, video games, and anime. Martial arts is a big part
of his life, influenced by his enjoyment of Hong Kong cinema, and it inspired the fight
scenes in One Star Hero. He dreams
of sharing the different worlds he sees and bringing them to life
for audiences to experience.
