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 standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Quill Cardon was spirited away from home to the opposite side of the country as a young boy.  That was the only way his father could protect him. Many years later he will have a chance of a family once more.  He has proven himself to be a man of honour and is respected by all who know him.
Lady Tristanna Willoughby is not looking forward to the men coming home from this latest battle with France.  She has been told that she will have to marry her hated betrothed when they return.  Serving as a lady in waiting to the Queen she has managed to avoid being alone with him for years.
An exciting story of historical romance and adventure.  The King likes to celebrate with a tourney after the battle.  Time to make new friends and enemies.
This is the third book in the series.  While you can read any of them on their own,  if you intend to read the series it's best read in order.  I have read and enjoyed each of them. 
I loved it.
