Shield of Sparrows: Shield of Sparrows Devney Perry

The instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller! A treaty sealed in magic. A fate born of monsters. A love foretold by legend. The ultimate 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? 'The best fantasy romance I've read in years. This story is unlike anything I've read before.' - Giana Darling. 'A riveting world, a twisty plot, and a smoldering romance. I burned through this epic romantasy.' - K. A. Tucker.
