Riordan Yun

Driven by a lifelong passion for storytelling, Riordan Yun crafts high-stakes narratives that explore the powerful connections that bind us, even in the darkest of worlds. With a diverse and growing body of work that spans multiple genres—from gritty paranormal romance and intricate romantic suspense to thought-provoking, high-concept science fiction—Yun's writing is unified by a single, compelling focus: placing unforgettable characters under extraordinary pressure. For Riordan Yun, a story begins with a simple question: What happens when a person's carefully constructed world is shattered? What are they forced to become when faced with a high-stakes conflict, a forbidden passion, or a truth that changes everything they thought they knew? The true narrative is found not just in the external plot, but in the internal journey of characters who are pushed to their absolute limits and must discover the core of their own humanity (or inhumanity) to survive. This exploration of the human condition is at the heart of every story. Yun believes that the best fiction serves as both an escape and a mirror, creating immersive worlds that are thrilling to get lost in, while also revealing deeper truths about our own resilience, our capacity for love, and the difficult choices we make when everything is on the line.  You can sign up to get updates about their writing here.
