My Name is Aelida Series by J.C. McGuire

Born in exile, Aelida will witness the rise and fall of kings and fight for her people’s very existence, for she holds a great secret…one that could see Briton’s greatness return…or fall forever. Having had her son taken from her, Aelida escapes Tintagel…only to fall into the hands of the High King’s enemies. Will he come for her, or will she die at the hands of those who hate him?

If Aelida believed that telling her secret would bring peace, she was sadly mistaken. Britain stands on the edge of destruction, and those who struggle for her survival can only do so much, even for the daughter of King Arthear. For the man Britain fears and hates most stands waiting. Watching. If he sees weakness and betrayal, then Britain’s champion—her High King—will fall, and with him will fall all hope…
