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.

finally, a well edited and well written romantasy... I was starting to give up hope!! Please don't let us wait for long for the next one (or end up writing more books than originally planned because this was successful, as has happened disastrously to other series... CC and IF, looking at you).

First time I had listened to this narrator and I really enjoyed her.

next one please!

Really enjoyed the story and the narration on the whole was good - but the male voice was so quiet!! When I wore headphones on public transport or if I'm listening with my car radio the male voice is so much quieter than the female and so I have to turn it up super loud making the female voice too loud!
Also the male voices are quite whiney which takes some getting used to. Just wish it was dual narration or the sound levels were more equal.

Great story, let down by male voice so quiet

Wish there had been more of Jason but I loved Samantha Brentmoor narration. Great story.

I loved the narration.

Really do not like having to wait for the next instalment to be published. Very Frustrating

Gripping - didn’t want it to finish
