The Ballad of the Knight Terror
Oscar, an airport security officer plagued by existential despair, faces a moral dilemma when pressured to racially profile travellers. Struggling with mental health issues, he contemplates suicide by swerving into an oncoming vehicle but miraculously survives the car accident, waking in Toronto General Hospital. Encountering Death himself, Oscar is bestowed with the powers and skills of Miyamoto Musashi—becoming the Knight Terror, a vigilante on a mission to combat the Plainsights (a diabolical organization). Alongside his allies—CJ and Rose—Oscar navigates the complexities of his newfound identity, grappling with moral dilemmas, inner turmoil, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
"I'm not the biggest fan of reading but after I picked this book up I was glued to my seat, the world that is depicted in the book is very captivating and keeps the reader on edge. The main character isn't perfect which makes him more relatable and likeable, he has human flaws and a strong sense of justice. Can't wait to continue following the Knight Terror's adventures in book 2!"

Praise & Reviews
"The story was fascinating, refreshing, and gave me valuable perspectives on my own life. The internal battles that Oscar faces were relatable and humanizing, adding colour to an unpredictable and clever plot. I also loved the obscurity of the book’s elements, leaving much of it up to interpretation, allowing the imagination to run wild. No matter where you are in life, I think anyone can find solace in the Knight Terror’s evolution as a character and learn to embody his resilient characteristics. I will certainly be reading this again and recommend it to anyone looking for an uplifting and unique read. Can’t wait for book 2!"
