BOOKS

Cleopatra. Charlemagne. Joan of Arc. Julius Caesar.

All men and women with incredible stories–both factual and fantastical. We're totally obsessed with the reimagining-history trend, and new novel Legacy of Kings is no exception. The first in Eleanor Herman's Blood of Gods and Royals series, Legacy of Kings tells the crazy-exciting tale of Alexander the Great's rise to power—and trust us, this is not your average history lesson.

Fact and fantasy swirl together in this action-packed epic, and we couldn't help but get caught up in the magic with Katerina, Jacob, Hephaestion, Zofia and, of course, Alexander himself—five strong-willed teens intent on forging their own legacy at any cost. (Can't wait to dig into the drama? We break it down HERE, plus introduce you to the fabulous Katerina.)

Drama, danger and a dash of romance bring the story to life…and now it's your turn! We want to know how you would rewrite history, Eleanor Herman-style. Here's how it works: 

1.) First, grab a copy of Legacy of Kings HERE and immerse yourself in the history and mystery. 

2.) Then, head back here and let us know whose story you would retell and how. (A Marie Antoinette musical? A Pocahontas poetry collection? The possibilities are endless!)

3.) Describe your idea in the comments below.

4.) The top three entries will receive a prize pack fit for a queen. (We're talking a gorgeous Legacy of Kings journal, luxe fashion and beauty essentials and more—total monarch material!)
