Birth of the Monkey King: Birth of the Monkey King

Every king must first learn what he cannot command.

Born from an Immortal Stone on Flower-Fruit Mountain, a nameless monkey opens his eyes to a world of sea, forest, danger, and laughter. He finds a family, follows a hidden stream through the Water-Curtain, and earns a crown not by force, but by courage.

Then death enters the cave.

To protect the joy he has found, the Handsome Monkey King must leave home and cross the Eastern Sea in search of a teacher who knows the deathless Way.
