About this listen

Now in development as a feature film with Amazon MGM Studios, with John Wick screenwriter Derek Kolstad attached to write the script!

Shield of Sparrows 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.

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?

Contains mature themes.

I decided to listen to this book on a whim, I saw one person say it was a 6 star read and dove head first hard. I loved it. I freaking loved it, what was that ending?! I don't know if it was the story or the narrator but I had all the feelings. The yearning and desperation in this book is beautiful. I really have to go back to how good the narrator was; she absolutely smashed it out of the park. If you like fantasy that is heavy on romance then you will for sure eat this up. I have no idea when the next one is out and I'm already desperate for it. So, so good.

Emotionally Devastated

I loved, loved, loved this. I was gripped from beginning to end and pretty much listened to this in a day. The performances were brilliant, such a talented voice actor 👏 I am going to suffer now, waiting for the next book to be released.

Amazing story!

What a book! Devney Perry is such a talented writer. I’ve read most of her superb, romantic fiction, so I know she can craft great and intricately woven tales but this is on a different level. I’ve always enjoyed fantasy fiction, notably the work of Terry Pratchett, but I’d not read any “romantasy”. So, this needed to be both an authentic romance and a convincing fantasy story….and it has both in spades. It’s a truly exceptional read, that will stay with me for a long time. I can’t wait for the next one. Important note to the producers of this audiobook; please ensure the sound level is even throughout. I spent the first few chapters turning the volume up and down. When the female narrator dropped her voice for male characters, it became almost inaudible. I ended up trying different ear buds, and different devices. I almost switched to a kindle version in frustration. Fortunately, it did improve as the book progressed. This is not a criticism of the female narrator, she was good
