Andrew’s first book was Royal Bastards and the story follows a bastard named Tilla. She knows that being a bastard is no fun as her father is Lord Kent of the Western Province, a man who loved her as a child, but cast her aside as she got older and he had trueborn children. Tilla is only sixteen and spends her days exploring the tunnels beneath the castle with her stablehand half-brother, Jax. She then spends her nights drinking with the servants until she passes out. Tilla keeps dreams of sitting by her fathers side, but realizes how silly this is. One day, at a feast honoring the visiting princess Lyriana, the princess surprises the whole kingdom by sitting at the bastards at the feast. Soon, Tilla is leading the princess on a late-night adventure and teaming up with the other bastards to prevent a civil war.

The second book in the series is called City of Bastards. The book picks up after the events of the first book as things have settled down for Tilla. Until the day that a mysterious man with terrifying powers attacks her.
