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.

Absolutely gripping
Well heck I need the next one now. So many twists and turns - although I did figure one thing and felt smug! Some great characters and fascinating world building. Really enjoyed it and congratulate Devney Perry on her debut in this genre.

Amazing!
Yeah, this was a phenomenal read. The world building, the character arcs, the plot twists, the surprises - everything was perfection.
I would have given the ordinance five stars but I feel a little bit duped that the reference is shown as two narrators with no explanation that the make narrator has only the last five minutes of the book.

Great book!
The narrator is really good. But I was also looking forward to listening to the male voice of Jason Clark. Turns out his POV is just the last chapter of the book which basically makes the book a single narration

don't trust booktok, unless they recommend this book
I lost count of how many recs were just disappointments in these past few months. So imagine my surprise when I actually felt something listening to this. To be fair the narration is amazing, but so is the story, so yes, give it a try. I really hope book 2 comes out soon.
