* HiddenBackupPrince: In ''Split Heirs'', the King's people believe that twins are a sign of infidelity, so when Queen Artemisia gives birth to triplets, she gives two of them to a nurse who gives them to two other families to raise as commoners. The rest of the book is a hilarious deconstruction of PrinceAndPauper tropes, especially since she accidentally gave both boys to the nurse forcing her to raise the girl as the prince.
