Fen Yik

Fen Yik, a writer of young adult & middle grade fantasy and practitioner of the Wing Chun system of kung fu, is a computational linguist based in Boston, MA.

His contemporary MG fantasy, Dez Wu and the Spirit Warriors, blends the myth-based magic of The Last Fallen Star and the heart of Tristan Strong with the teacher/student dynamic of Cobra Kai. Pitched as Marvel’s Shang-Chi set in a New York middle-school, it follows Dez Wu and his friends as they’re plunged into a centuries-old war between ancient magical kung fu schools who summon spirit warriors to fight alongside them.
