Shield of Sparrows





A princess is chosen to fulfil the terms of an ancient treaty and finds herself travelling with an infamous monster slayer in this epic romantasy filled with legends and magical creatures

Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters to remind us of our insignificance.

But I didn’t need a deity to tell me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance.

Until the day an infamous monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm.

That was the day I learned that not all myths are make-believe.

And that the only way to kill the monsters we fear was to become one . . .
