The Crane by Jeff Stone is the lastest book in his The Five Ancestor Series.  The series introduces five brothers, Fu, Seh, Malao, Hok and Long, who were raised by the Grandmaster at the Cangzhen monastery. Each brother was taught an animal style of Kung-fu by the Grandmaster and finds the need to use it throughout their adventures.  When the Cangzhen monastery is attacked by the emperor’s soldiers led by a traitorous older brother, the younger brothers must flee.  Each brother scatters in a different direction and each book tells the tale of their adventures as they search for one another with hopes to reunite.

The Crane is Hok’s story and Jeff Stone’s lastest installment. 

 I suggest you start with the first book, The Tiger. Then if you want to find out the rest of the story, like I did, read The Monkey, The Snake and The Crane.
