A TREATY SEALED IN MAGIC. A FATE BORN OF MONSTERS. A LOVE FORETOLD BY LEGEND.?? THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ??Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros?? ??-The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel.I?ve spent my life kneeling to 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 father?s throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life.Now I?m crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him bound to a future I didn?t choose and a husband I barely know.Everyone wants me to be something I?m not a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there?s power in being underestimated?And what if for the first time I reached for it?
