Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarroswhere enemies become lovers, monsters stalk a cursed realm, and a forgotten princess finds the strength to tear off her crown and become the warrior she was never meant to be. The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel. Ive spent my life kneelingto their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king. I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood. But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my fathers throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life. Now Im crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise himbound to a future I didnt choose and a husband I barely know. Everyone wants me to be something Im nota queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if theres power in being underestimated? And what iffor the first timeI reached for it?
