The Light Bringer

Lucas Black knows only one language: violence.
Raised under brutal discipline and forged in the nightclub underworld of South London, he survives by instinct, speed, and ruthless efficiency. On the doors, in back alleys, and on blood-slick dance floors, hesitation means defeat.
Then he finds karate.
What begins as an outlet for rage becomes an obsession that takes him far beyond street fights and dojo wars. From the hard men of London to the sacred dojos of Okinawa and the temples of Japan, Lucas is forced to confront a truth more dangerous than any blade:
Power without balance destroys the man who wields it.
As he walks the warrior's path, Lucas must decide whether he is destined to remain a weapon - or become something more.
The Light Bringer is a raw, visceral journey through martial arts, masculinity, discipline, and transformation - where the greatest battle is not fought in the street, but within.

Steve Rowe is a respected martial artist, philosopher, and accomplished author of ten previous books, including four published with The Ran Network.
