Briar Niran - Author

Hello! I'm Briar, an asexual author of queer romantasy centred on asexuality, siblinghood and friendship. 😊 The Sun King and his Knight is a quartet, with a prequel, Book One and Book Two out, and the other two books coming next year.

Though I would love to show my face and let you know me, I'm unfortunately not in a position to publicly reveal that I write queer stories. Perhaps one day, but for now, I must remain anonymous. I really appreciate your understanding. I will share that I love dogs, hate spiders, and daydream far too much!

I hope you enjoy reading! Please feel free to get in touch through the email below. I'm always happy to hear from my readers!

Prequel

READ NOW

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.

Book One

READ NOW

Burdened with an inability to desire others, King Richard of Ardenia still finds peace in his unruly siblings, his loyal circle, and even in his young knight, Sir Kaelen, whose yearning stares he has spent years ignoring.

But when Richard rides to a borderland village to investigate eerie happenings, all peace shatters. The veil containing Gloamvarn, a neighbouring realm filled with fell beasts and unimaginable horrors, is cracking. Sooner or later, it will fall.

As Richard hunts for a way to safeguard his kingdom, Kaelen stays close, a constant, protective presence that stirs a strange tenderness Richard doesn’t dare name.

For the monsters have a new ruler. And the tyrant hungers not only for Ardenia.

But its king, too.

Book Two

King Richard of Ardenia knows fear well. The veil is his kingdom's only defence against Gloamvarn—a neighbouring realm of monsters—and it is crumbling.

In a bid to gather allies for the coming war, Richard throws open his court for a grand Summer Ball. As he navigates political wiles, a sister who has grown terribly quiet, and a new threat from dark witches, it becomes hard to hold steady. Harder still, when bitter arguments erupt between him and his devoted knight, despite the confusing mix of warmth and possessiveness Kaelen ignites within him.

Meanwhile, a long-buried secret threatens to shatter his family and court, and through it all, the Gloam King waits with a smile.

There’s no stopping the veil’s fall, Galdran whispers.

Invasion is inevitable.

And you, and all of yours, will be mine.

“When first he kisses you, his palms will be grazed and his eyes filled with tears.

He will tell you to leave.

You must obey.” 

The veil is poised to fall.

Richard must make his decision.

Annihilation or annexation. Freedom or marriage. His heart beside him or sent away.

Deep down, he knows the answer.

All suns must set.
