Shield of Sparrows

<b><i>Shield of Sparrows</i> is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros―where 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.</b><br /><br />The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Everyone wants me to be something I’m not―a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.<br /><br />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?<br /><br />And what if―for the first time―I reached for it?
