About the Book:
I noticed his eyes. They were blue, sharp and intense. Despite the
youthful glows of his suntanned face, his eyes were cold and unfriendly,
suggesting he had great experience in the world and was now expecting
the worst.In her seventeenth year, Princess Alera of Hytanica faces one duty: to marry the man who will be king. But her father's choice of suitor fills her with despair.
When the palace guard captures and intruder—a boy her age with steel-blue eyes, hailing from her kingdom's greatest enemy—Alera is alarmed…and intrigued. But she could not have guessed that their clandestine meetings would unveil the dark legacy shadowing both their lands.
In this mystical world of court conspiracies and blood magic, loyalties will be tested. Courage won't be enough. And as the battle begins for everything Alera holds dear, love may be the downfall of a kingdom.
About the Author:
Cayla Kluver authored her first book at the age of two and has been writing ever since. Back then, she dictated her story to her mom and drew (scribbled) pictures herself. Today, she uses a laptop and various drafting and drawing software. The tools may be different, but the need to put things on paper remains. In addition to writing, she enjoys acting, singing, horseback riding, ballroom dance, and spending time with family, friends, and her cat, Nina. She lives in Wisconsin, sandwiched between two sisters, and recently graduated public high school in May 2008 at the age of fifteen. This is her first novel.

I read Legacy in two days, because I couldn't stop reading it. It's a fantastic book and one of the best I've ever read. I'll recommended to everyone.
So do I comment here to enter? Also, I read Legacy and I loved it!!! Totally inspirational... I even did some fanart for it. :-) I'm hoping to find time to read it again soon...
This will be the third version of this book I have...but it's good, because my other two copies are worn down from so much reading!
I would love to have the chance to read Legacy. Right away, its premise sparked my interest, not to mention the cover. I love stories centered around court intrigue. I like to imagine myself in that Victorian-like setting, living the lifestyle.
Oh my gosh, that's one of my favorite books of all time!!! :D I love the new cover! I am anxiously awaiting Allegiance...
