From Publishers Weekly:
British author La Plante is familiar to American readers for his two crime novels steeped in the martial arts and Eastern mysticism, Leopard and Mantis. Now, seven years after its original publication in England, his first novel has traveled Stateside. It's an epic fantasy, influenced by Oriental ways of combat and worship, that tells of the conception, birth, early training and rise to warlord status of its eponymous hero. The old warlord, Renagi, conceives a son via a forbidden union with a slave. The boy, in the manner of Moses and other classic heroes, is slated for drowning but is rescued?by a monk, Tabata, who raises Tegne and hones his physical and spiritual talents. Eventually, Tegne is led to confront his father and his father's legitimate heir, Zato. Minor characters?Rin, Tegne's young and raffish disciple; Gazan, a savage warrior; and a seductive woman who also appears as a supernatural cat?add color, but La Plante, who holds a third-degree black belt in karate, casts his spotlight primarily on Tegne, an incomparable warrior of both body and spirit. Whether or not La Plante intends to make this book the first of a series, he proves that he is a skillful writer in this genre.

After being raised by the monks of the Temple of the Moon and trained in the exacting martial discipline of the empty hand, the bastard son of the warlord of Zendow begins a journey of self-discovery. The wanderings of Tegne lead him to a confrontation with a father who denies him and a mysterious dream-woman who claims to love him. Steeped in the mysticism and atmosphere of its quasi-Asian background, La Plante's (Hog Fever, Forge, 1995) latest novel should appeal to martial arts enthusiasts as well as general fantasy readers.
