The three young children of Adelard de Blays - two sons and a daughter - are separated when their father commits treason against the King of England. Follow each of their stories in The King's Cousins, a new trilogy by Alexa Aston.

1342 A.D.: Spirited away when his father, Adelard de Blays, commits treason, bastard Quill Cardon longs to reclaim his family name when he reaches manhood and reunite with his half-siblings, Landon and Katelyn. Winning the king's tournament at Smithfield and saving the life of Prince Edward leads to Quill being awarded an earldom and an estate of his own - but what he most desires is Lady Tristanna Willoughby, a woman he can never have.

Tristanna has served for years as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Philippa and has waited for the return of her betrothed, Jarrett Marsden, from the war in France. Tristanna dislikes Jarrett, who chases anything in a skirt, and longs to wed Sir Quill Cardon, an honorable knight who has captured her heart.

When circumstances change, Quill and Tristanna have a chance at happiness - until a man seeking revenge threatens to tear them apart.

Each book in The King's Cousins Trilogy is a stand-alone story that can be enjoyed out of order.
