Kings in Exile is a historical novel written by Charles G. D. Roberts and originally published in 1910.

The brothers end up in French exile, where they become embroiled in the political intrigue of the French court.Malcolm, the elder brother, is a skilled soldier and becomes a trusted advisor to King Louis XIV. Ewan, on the other hand, is a more impulsive and reckless character who becomes involved in a plot to overthrow the king. The novel explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the struggle for power in a time of political upheaval.As the story unfolds, the brothers find themselves caught up in a web of intrigue and danger, as they navigate the treacherous waters of court politics and try to protect their own interests. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including the beautiful and cunning Madame de Montespan, the king's mistress, and the ambitious Duke of Orleans, who seeks to undermine Louis XIV's authority.Kings in Exile is a gripping tale of adventure and intrigue, set against the backdrop of one of the most fascinating periods in European history.
