Aurelia by Anne Osterlund

The plots of Legacy and Aurelia are so similar, they're practically twins. But then again, it isn't really a new idea to have a princess torn between love and royal duty. The execution is simlar as well, and Alera and Aurelia come across as similar kinds of young women. They both have a strong sense of responsibility for their country, and they want to do the right thing...whatever that may be. That being said, where Legacy is rich in description and details Aurelia seems to have more action in it (and its sequel, Exile, is already out).




Cleopatra's Moon by Vicky Alvear Shecter

While Aurelia and Legacy are both set in a kind of historical fantasy, renaissance-esque world Cleopatra's Moon revolves around the story of Cleopatra's only daughter in the Ancient, Classical world. But it still has a similar feel as her daughter, Cleopatra Selene, struggles to find her place in a kingdom that's quickly crumbling apart and desires to step out of the shadow made by her mother, the ruler of Egypt. You have the same theme of princess trying to fulfill her royal duty, and the political intrigue that make Legacy and Aurelia so enjoyable, but with a smaller dose of love and a bit more historical fact behind it.
