Summary

Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy, where enemies become lovers, monsters roam a cursed realm, and a forgotten princess finds the power to burn a kingdom down.

Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters upon the five kingdoms of Calandra to remind us that humans are insignificant—that we must pray to the gods for mercy throughout our fragile, fleeting lives.

I didn't need a deity to remind me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance—twenty-three years of empty titles and hollow traditions. My sister revels in the spectacle, basking in the attention and flawlessly playing her part. I was never asked to be part of the charade.

Until the day an infamous monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince walked into my father's throne room and ruined my life. The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty in blood, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm.

That was the day I learned that not all myths are make-believe. That lies and legends are often the same. And that the only way to kill the monsters we fear was to become one . . .

Contains mature themes.

Absolutely loved this romantasy book! A cross between Quicksilver and of Blood and Ash - so good!!
FMC development was superb, begins as a lonely, cast aside Princess, and then finds her strength and voice.. ❤️ MMC - just swoon!!
Narration was great, only improvement would be for it to be performed in duet.
Highly recommend, can't wait for book 2, hear it'll be a tear jerker (although there were some tears at the end of book 1 also!)

Loved it!!!

I have not enjoyed a book like this in awhile! Her world and character creation was unique, elaborate and un rushed. Constant plot twists. Great romance. Well written and loved narrators!

Unique, suspenseful, plot twisting

Very enjoyable escape and fun story. Good to find female characters who are brave, kind and full of heart. I finished listening in a few days. On to book two

Great listen

Writing is relatively simple but entertaining and feet kicking. Voice actor is fantastic!! But damn the guardian just randomly disappears and it’s hilarious.
