Author: Demethius Jackson
Publisher: Createspace
Release Date: August 23, 2013
From its establishment, the Realm, has remained the only magical kingdom in existence. As a result, it has never known peace. Although the kingdom has never fallen, it must now defend against the Warlord Damian – a brilliantly merciless conqueror who uses history as a weapon. Rallying those resentful of the Realm’s magic, Damian has amassed a Legion of Warriors – the largest military force ever assembled.
The Kingdom’s defeat is imminent!
Maebus, the Realm’s newest King, has only ruled for six days. Yet he must now lead the magical Realmsic Kingdom through its most perilous conflict ever.
My Review
The Hero of Legend is an epic fantasy by Demethius Jackson that is done on a grand scale. By that I mean it reads like many of the translations of historical literary texts. The story about Maebus, the newly appointed king from humble roots who must save the Realm from the evil Damian, is told in a manner that reminds me a lot of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The structure was slightly different than the poem, but The Hero of Legend was definitely not written in a way that I expected from a novel. It was a bit jarring to read at first (I'm on hiatus with school, so I'm rusty with non-traditional writing), but I eventually got back into the swing of things. I think this is the first thing that needs to be addressed in the review because The Hero of Legend won't be for everything because of its format, though it was a good book.
