Legacy of Kings

Imagine a time when the gods turn a blind eye to the agony of men, when the last of the hellions roam the plains, and evil stirs beyond the edges of the map. A time when cities burn, and in their ashes empires rise.

Alexander, Macedonia's sixteen-year-old heir, is on the brink of discovering his fated role in conquering the known world, but finds himself drawn to a newcomer. Katerina must navigate the dark secrets of court life while hiding her own mission: to kill the queen. She does not account for her first love. Jacob will go to unthinkable lengths to win Katerina, even if it means competing for her heart with Hephaestion, a murderer sheltered by the prince. Far across the sea, Zofia, a Persian princess and Alexander's unmet betrothed, wants to alter her destiny by seeking the famed and deadly Spirit Eaters.

Weaving fantasy with the details of real history, Eleanor Herman reimagines Alexander the Great in the first book of the Blood of Gods and Royals series.
