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?
Tropes:
- Enemies to Lovers
- Magic, Myths and Monsters
- Slow-Burn
- Forced Proximity
- Arranged Marriage
- Hidden Identity
- High Stakes
Now a Feature Film in Development with Amazon MGM Studios!
