Empire of Dust
Empire of Dust | Eleanor Herman
11 posts | 10 read | 2 reading | 9 to read
In Macedon, war rises like smoke, forbidden romance blooms and ancient magic tempered with rage threatens to turn an empire to dust After winning his first battle, Prince Alexander fights to become the ruler his kingdom demands—but the line between leader and tyrant blurs with each new threat.  Meanwhile, Hephaestion, cast aside by Alexander for killing the wrong man, must conceal the devastating secret of a divine prophecy from Katerina even as the two of them are thrust together on a dangerous mission to Egypt. The warrior, Jacob, determined to forget his first love, vows to eradicate the ancient Blood Magics and believes that royal prisoner Cynane holds the key to Macedon's undoing. And in chains, the Persian princess Zofia still longs to find the Spirit Eaters, but first must grapple with the secrets of her handsome—and deadly—captor.  New York Times bestselling author Eleanor Herman entwines the real scandals of history with epic fantasy to reimagine the world's most brilliant ruler, Alexander the Great, in the second book of the Blood of Gods and Royals series.

I loved this book! I was so excited to get onto the next one in the series that I missed reviewing it here. 😆 This series has completely blown me away - it definitely deserves more hype than I've seen for it - and this was probably my favourite of the three books so far. (PS pre-work books and breakfast is my current favourite indulgence. 😊)

I've been waiting for the book since I finished the first. About half way through and on the edge of my seat 🔥

Book 2 of the Blood of Gods and Royals series arrived before the Canada Post Strike!! Can't wait to get into this book, should probably reread Book 1 Legacy of Kings first.

This book is a brilliant sequel to Legacy of Kings! Eleanor Herman does a wonderful job of mixing history with fantasy. You'll definitely want to pick up this book in a couple weeks! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you have not picked up these books I would 11/10 recommend that you drop everything and go buy these. In one word, they are exquisite.
