“Despite the difference in class, death is life’s great equalizer. Every man must face it.” However, as T.S. Maynard's novel The Legend of Titus illustrates, it is often easier to confront our own demise than to see the people we love cut down. The story begins in a small medieval kingdom where a man works the land to support his family. But this is no ordinary man; he is Titus, a legendary warrior who has grown weary of battle. Unfortunately for Titus, fate is unkind, and he finds himself in a new war, where he confronts something he has never experienced before: defeat. Driven by rage and seeking vengeance, Titus fights against overwhelming odds. In doing so, he realizes that the true struggle is not between cynical kings who delude themselves into believing they are better than they are. The real war is the one over his very soul.

The Legend of Titus by T.S. Maynard is a cold and harsh read. It is also cleverly nuanced and demonstrates a keen understanding of psychological strategy. The action-packed plot focuses on a man who seeks revenge and the tribulations he faces as he confronts a mighty foe, but it's more complex than that due to the many significant themes that act as a foundation for the tale. Good versus evil, wretchedness, redemption, and a test of faith play key roles in the story. Character development is outstanding, and Maynard puts on quite the show by introducing numerous unique individuals, such as Titus, Knut, and Kensington. With its fast pace and easy-to-read style, The Legend of Titus will thrill fans of Christian-themed historical fiction and anyone who loves rowdy medieval tales.
