Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this action-packed sequel to Royal Bastards, Tilla uncovers a sinister conspiracy to take down the kingdom from within. Tilla, bastard of House Kent, has it made. Safe from her murderous father in the dazzling capital of Lightspire, she lives a life of luxury under the protection of the Volaris King, alongside her boyfriend, Zell, and best friend, Princess Lyriana. So why isn't she happy? Maybe it's the whispers and stares that follow her wherever she goes, as the daughter of the traitor waging war against Lightspire. Or maybe it's the memories of her beloved brother, Jax, who lies cold in his grave even as she tries to settle into a life in the city's prestigious University. Then Tilla stumbles upon the body of a classmate -- a friend. The authorities are quick to rule it a suicide and sweep it under the rug, but when Tilla herself is attacked by a mysterious man with terrifying powers, she's convinced of a conspiracy. Her friends beg her to stay silent; what she's suggesting is impossible...and treasonous. The deeper she digs, the more questions she uncovers. Nothing is as it seems in the glorious capital, and Tilla's presence might just be the spark that sets the Kingdom aflame.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the epic conclusion to the Royal Bastards trilogy, Tilla faces an impossible choice: unthinkable destruction in the name of peace...or an uncertain future that means confronting a terrible past. A year has passed since the fall of Lightspire. The Inquisitor Miles Hampstedt rules Noveris with a blood-soaked iron fist. Tilla and her friends have become hardened rebels in the Unbroken, a band of guerilla fighters hiding out on the fringes of the Kingdom protecting the true queen, Lyriana Volaris. Even as they fight, they know their cause is doomed -- that with every passing day Miles's army of Bloodmages spreads across the continent. But at least they have each other...and some halfway-decent drinks. After a daring rescue mission, the group frees two vital prisoners: the Raven, a mysterious informant with a deep personal connection to Tilla, and Syan Syee, a strange girl from the Red Wastes who demonstrates an incredible new kind of magic and speaks of a secret civilization hidden in her isolated homeland. With Miles's forces closing in, a ragtag team sets out on an eleventh-hour mission: form an alliance with Syan's people that could turn the tide of the war. But what they discover in the Red Wastes changes everything, including their very understanding of the magic that runs through Noveris -- magic that has brought the Kingdom to the brink of ruin.

Download or read book Royal Bastards written by Sara McDougall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stigmatization as 'bastards' of children born outside of wedlock is commonly thought to have emerged early in Medieval European history. Christian ideas about legitimate marriage, it is assumed, set the standard for legitimate birth. Children born to anything other than marriage had fewer rights or opportunities. They certainly could not become king or queen. As this volume demonstrates, however, well into the late twelfth century, ideas of what made a child a legitimate heir had little to do with the validity of his or her parents' union according to the dictates of Christian marriage law. Instead a child's prospects depended upon the social status, and above all the lineage, of both parents. To inherit a royal or noble title, being born to the right father mattered immensely, but also being born to the right kind of mother. Such parents could provide the most promising futures for their children, even if doubt was cast on the validity of the parents' marriage. Only in the late twelfth century did children born to illegal marriages begin to suffer the same disadvantages as the children born to parents of mixed social status. Even once this change took place we cannot point to 'the Church' as instigator. Instead, exclusion of illegitimate children from inheritance and succession was the work of individual litigants who made strategic use of Christian marriage law. This new history of illegitimacy rethinks many long-held notions of medieval social, political, and legal history.

Download or read book Royal Bastards written by Peter Beauclerk-Dewar and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1066 when William the Conqueror (alias William the Bastard) took the throne, English and Scottish kings have sired at least 150 children out of wedlock. Many were acknowedged at court and founded dynasties of their own - several of today's dukedoms are descended from them. Others were only acknowledged grudgingly or not at all. In the twentieth century this trend for royals to father illegitimate children continued, but the parentage, while highly probably, has not been officially recognised. This book - split into four sections: Tudor, Stuart, Henoverian and, perhaps most fascinating, Royal Loose Ends - is a genuinely fresh approach to British kings and queens, examining their lives and times through the unfamiliar perspective of their illegitimate children.

After all, he'd hate to be the one named Bubba. The fact most of his brother's hit songs are actually the soundtrack to his tragic life never truly fazed him either until he saw Maddy Mae on his brother's arm. Word travels fast in these parts. As soon as Maddy Mae moves home to Music City, she has a call from her high school sweetheart. She thinks twice about answering. Sure she knows he's famous now. He could finally be her ticket to success as a songwriter, but her heart shattered long ago when Beau went to prison. That heartache's something she never wants to experience again. Meeting up with his brother Bubba seems innocent enough until she finds herself falling for his persona. Bubba's like loving Beau without any of the baggage. Why did they ever head down Royal Road? Nashvegas is full of honky-tonks but none as infamous as Royal Road where the Royal Bastards MC rule. Confronted with her old flame, the real Beau Strick and all his demons, Maddy's torn between two identical brothers. Well, they used to be identical. Now, the real Beau looks nothing like the clean-cut Country Music star who sings about his hard knocks. Kingpin's long hair and tattoos, the rev of his Harley calls to something wild within her. Maddy Mae is the one thing about Kingpin that hasn't changed. His love for her is the last thing left of his soul. And she's the only thing he won't let his brother take from him. His twin has plenty of money and influence in Music City, but Kingpin controls its underbelly, not to mention an army of outlaws on Harleys. He'll go to war if he has to. Whether Maddy Mae agrees doesn't matter. Kingpin will do anything to convince her there's nothing better than the real thing. Even if that means seducing her adult daughter, Sky. Finding out Kingpin is not her real father, Sky agrees to help him win her mother's heart. She never thought she'd fall for a man so much older than her. But Sky falls, just as her mother gives in. Kingpin never thought he'd want someone as much as his old flame. Of all people, Sky proves him wrong. With everything he wanted from his past within reach, who will he choose for his future, and will she have him?
