Synopsis: From the front flap of the Tor first hardback edition: "From birth, Tagné is marked for a great destiny. His is a key player in the struggle between good and evil, order and chaos. His fate, told in ancient prophecies, will be to overthrow a tyrant, attain a throne, and free his people from slavery under Renagi, the Warlord of Zendow. The Warlord has heard the prophecies and determines to destroy his bastard son while Tagné is still an infant.
Tegne is not without guardians: the Seven Holy Protectors; the powerful god who takes shape as a great and terrible cat; and the brothers and Elders of the Temple of the Moon. These wise monks preserve the world's spiritual balance through the practices of Zen meditation and the martial arts. In Tagné, they have found the perfect vessel for their teachings.
As the boy grows to manhood, he becomes a fighting machine, but though he can defeat his teachers in battle, his greatest tests are yet to come. His father hunts him still; worse, the essence of Evil, in the form of a beautiful temptress, seeks to seduce him from the side of good - or, failing that, to destroy him.
A colorful and adventurous fantasy, Tagné: Soul Warrior is the epic story of a man's struggle with destiny, his quest for spiritual and physical perfection, and his development from an emotionless killing machine into a wise and caring leader of men."
