"An epic historical tale of revolution, change, and loss in a spellbinding land." (Independent Book Review)

Alto Peru, 1813. At the dawn of the South American revolution, Juana Azurduy's heart is being torn in two. A woman caught between her allegiance to her native Aymara roots and the safety of her family, Juana's world is thrown into turmoil when she and her family intervene to prevent the death of her closest friend at the hand of the Spanish.

Forced to abandon her peaceful life to evade capture, she grapples with an impossible decision: should she protect her loved ones or stand as a beacon of hope for her people against the Spanish oppression? As Juana's personal battle unfolds against the backdrop of political upheaval, the stakes escalate when her relentless Spanish pursuers inch closer.

Children of Kings delves into the untold stories of revolution, shedding light on the intimate moments of home, family, friendship, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Striking battle scenes buoy an illuminating depiction of Bolivia's peoples, culture, and landscapes." - Kirkus Reviews

"Children of Kings is more than a historical novel—it's an immersive journey back in time, offering readers a window into the resilient spirit of a woman and a vivid exploration of a complex era. As such, this beautifully penned novel comes with a high recommendation." - Literary Titan

"Juana inspires awe in the most human way possible: imperfectly heroic. She is one of the strongest and most impressive protagonists that I've had the pleasure of reading as of late. She is not perfect by any stretch, but she has values and sticks by them. A land in need of a hero, a hero in search of what it takes to save the land, Juana is the cornerstone of this story, the John Wayne of The Searchers." - Independent Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars A Riveting Tale of Courage and Revolution
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023
This book is an exhilarating journey back to the heart of the South American Revolution, bringing to life the story of Juana Azurduy, a farmer forced into the throes of conflict. This book masterfully blends historical depth with a gripping narrative, painting a vivid picture of 1813 Bolivia and Argentina. What truly captivated me was the blend of a Western feel with the energetic pacing and action-packed scenes. The story is not just about battles and strife; it's also a moving tale of a woman torn between her role as a symbol of revolution and the maternal instinct to protect her children.

The book shines with its detailed world-building and a strong, yet imperfect protagonist. Juana's character is beautifully crafted, showing her resilience and vulnerability in equal measure. The story is more than just a historical retelling; it's a deep dive into themes of loss, faith, family, vengeance, and fighting for a greater cause. Whether you're a fan of epic tales, Westerns, or just love a well-told story of a real-life heroine, this book is a compelling read. The author's passion for the subject is evident in every page, making this book a memorable addition to any bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Riveting Epic with Unforgettable Characters!
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023
I had the absolute pleasure of diving into "Children of Kings" by E.S. Ramirez, and I'm thrilled to award it a well-deserved five stars! This book is an exhilarating page-turner that transported me to a captivating world, filled with vivid characters and intense action.

The story unfolds in the heart of Bolivia and Argentina during the tumultuous times of the 1813 South American Revolution. The book's protagonist, Juana Azurduy, is a farmer whose life takes a dramatic turn after a confrontation with a Spanish platoon Commander makes her and her family targets. What follows is an epic journey that forces Juana to make life-altering choices—becoming the symbol of Pachamama for the Aymara people, and deciding whether to stay and fight or flee to protect her beloved children.

What sets "Children of Kings" apart is its unique setting in Alto Pero at the onset of the South American Revolution. The author skillfully infuses a Western feel into the narrative, creating an atmosphere that's both exotic and familiar. The energetic pacing and action set pieces keep you on the edge of your seat, making this book a true page-turner.

The well-developed characters in the story are nothing short of powerful. Juana Azurduy, the strong yet imperfect protagonist, is a force to be reckoned with. Her resilience in the face of adversity and her unwavering commitment to her family and her people are truly inspiring. The supporting characters are equally memorable, adding depth and authenticity to the story.

As I turned the pages of "Children of Kings," I couldn't help but be drawn into the classic epic Western feel. The author masterfully weaves themes of loss, faith, family, vengeance, and the pursuit of greater causes into the narrative. These themes resonate deeply and make the story not only intense but also emotionally impactful.

The book delivers a satisfying ending that leaves you reflecting on the journey you've taken alongside the characters. What I enjoyed most about "Children of Kings" was the detailed and exotic world-building, the relentless action set pieces, and the exploration of profound themes that linger in your thoughts long after you've finished reading.

In conclusion, E.S. Ramirez's "Children of Kings" is a well-written masterpiece that combines history, adventure, and unforgettable characters. It's a powerful and intense story that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a gripping and thought-provoking read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing story telling with unforgettable characters
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2023
The story follows the life of Juana and her family while growing up in Bolivia. Politics makes strange bedfellows and turns some into unlikely heros. In the fight for her homeland Juana becomes a symbol to her people called Pachamama. This riveting tale takes you through that tumultuous time and gives the reader a glimpse into a young woman trying to save herself, her children and her employees and ultimately ends up saving her country.
