The Squire and His Prince (The Sun King and His Knight #0.5)

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.
