LEGACY OF KINGS

A new epic, four-book fantasy series: Game of Thrones meets Mortal Instruments in the story of the greatest ruler of all time, from New York Times bestselling author Eleanor Herman.

Imagine: a time when Gods still walk among mortals. A time when magic is running dry, and only the chosen few can save it. A time when cities are burning; and in their ashes, empires are built. This is the time of Alexander the Great, a young man with an uncanny ability to read minds, on the brink of discovering his fated role in conquering the known world—and resurrecting the four ancient lines of blood magic. And his story is nothing like the history books have told. Because behind his rise to greatness, was an unsung hero: his long-list twin sister, Katerina. Born with a weak leg and a terrible scar, no one imagined the young prince would one day conquer the known world. But by age ten, Alexander had used his magical powers to tame a wild horse, and was already deemed a fierce mind and a brave leader. By thirteen, he had been trained in the military arts and strategies by the greatest philosopher of all time: Aristotle. Now at sixteen years old, he has been named prince regent, and is on the brink of defeating his first attack by traitors to the palace. Little does he know, an equally powerful force is approaching the kingdom, in the form of his long lost twin sister, Katerina. Two sides of the same coin, Alexander and Katerina are unstoppable. But what the twins don’t know is that their birthright also holds a dark secret—one that could tear their world asunder. Through challenge after challenge, through heartbreak and betrayal, warfare and deceit, political intrigue and shocking revelations, Alex and Kat must band together and travel to the edge of the earth to find the Fountain of Youth. There it has been prophesized that Alexander will unite the four types of Blood Magic and steal his kingdom back from an evil force. It is only then that he will achieve true greatness—and only with the greatest of sacrifices. Eleanor Herman is the New York Times Bestselling author of Sex with Kings, as well as three other works of nonfiction: Sex with the Queen, Mistress of the Vatican, and King Peggy.
