Plot summary
The Titan of Twilight is a story involving the bastard child of Queen Brianna of Hartsvale, which becomes the cause of much bloodshed. The giants of the land believe the baby to be a Titan of Twilight, the last giant-kin descendant of Annam All-Father, creator of giant races. His coming is a prophecy the giant-kin believe, and they do everything they can so that Queen Brianna reaches the Twilight Vale. The child is supposedly to restore Ostoria, an ancient giant kingdom. The main protagonist, a firbolg by the name of Tavis Burdun and his friends fight to stop them.
Reception
Gideon Kibblewhite reviewed 'The Titan of Twilight' for 'Arcane' magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall. He calls the novel "An enjoyable romp" noting that "The body count is extraordinarily high, with expendable soldiers and leading characters on all sides meeting all manner of gruesome deaths. Indeed, this is one of the book's strengths. The story begins with a vicious battle and thereafter a steady shower of lopped limbs keeps things ticking along nicely." He comments that "Troy Denning has great fun dishing up a variety of tricky problems and hideous monsters for our heroes to tackle as events roll towards a stunning finale where the legendary titan himself makes an appearance." Kibblewhite concludes the review by saying "Not one for the faint-hearted (you'll never win a fair lady either) but for the rest of us an above-average read."
