I am finding this now as well. I am into book 6 now and it seems there is a whole other novel somewhere that I missed! I remember nothing about this cousin or the queen or any of this. I looked on Wikipedia and it seems it was in a short story. I don't really thibk this is fair to the reader, most people who read the series may not see the short stories or even know about them and I don't think she should introduce major canon moments 'off-screen' as it were. This will definitely affect my rating of the book.
