Book Review
The Squire and His Prince
Prequel to The Sun King and his Knight quartet
By Briar Niran
“You did not yield,” Richard said, standing far too close. “And I know that you would not have.”
The pining in this prequel is absolutely delicious. 18-year-old squire Kaelen’s childhood crush on the prince he’s sworn to serve has developed into love. But Prince Richard is next in line for the crown, and his parents are pressuring him to make a political marriage. The problem is, the prince experiences no romantic or sexual desire.
Kaelen seems to be one of the few who has realized this, and he genuinely wants his prince to be treated with the respect he deserves. In fact, Kaelen will go to extraordinary lengths to be the best squire he can be. I’m very much looking forward to the next book!
Check out The Squire and His Prince for magic, royalty, adorable siblings, fast friendships, high stakes, drama, intrigue, so much pining, and amazing ace rep.
The Squire and His Prince
A queer romantasy novella about a squire who would bleed for his prince.
For eighteen-year-old squire Kaelen, the crown prince is everything—ruthlessly clever, disciplined, devoted to his siblings, and a man Kaelen has hopelessly loved since childhood.
Richard, however, barely notices his existence.
When the king invites the Estaran royal family for marriage talks, the court rejoices. Richard’s refusal to share his bed with any man or woman has, to them, long been a strange defect—one that a political marriage would solve. But Kaelen is left heartbroken.
Worse, when the Estaran prince—Richard’s intended consort—boasts his crude intentions, Kaelen retaliates with his fist.
The single punch explodes into a diplomatic crisis. Caught in the middle, Kaelen soon realises that worse than losing his life—he may lose his prince.
