Herman, Eleanor

YA
Blood of Gods and Royals series.
Prince Regent Alexander and his enemies regroup and search for allies after their first battle in Legacy of Kings. But converging outside forces threaten to blindside both. Lack of clarity in the eight alternating points of view muddles the timeline. Herman lays the groundwork for this historical fantasy's next installment, deepening not only the political intrigue but also the magic and her characters' emotional toil.

YA
Blood of Gods and Royals series.
In an alternate ancient Greece, several teens--Alexander the Great, a young sorceress named Kat, Alexander's Persian fiancée, and others--find themselves drawn into a political and magical conflict destined to change the world. The richly imagined setting, intense political intrigue, and large cast of characters make this series-starting historical fantasy a solid choice for Game of Thrones fans.
