Shield of Sparrows (Deluxe Limited Edition)

Discover the instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

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?

A solid romantasy pick! There are certain tropes commonly found in the genre that are found in this book but if you’re able to not dwell on that and just enjoy the read, then this book will be a hit. The world building was extensive and descriptive and the characters were intriguing and believable. Some of the twists were expected while others were not what I thought. I didn’t have many qualms with this book and look forward to book 2!

A romantasy by Devney Perry is what I didn’t know I needed in my life—and now I am OBSESSED!

I’ve always loved her small-town romances, but this book is AMAZING!! There’s magic, monsters, danger, and romance - enemies to lovers and a forced marriage to save the kingdom...say less!!! I was hooked from the first page!!

And then... that CLIFFHANGER. I’m unwell. I have no idea how long the wait will be for book two, but I will be first in line.

Devney Perry, I need the sequel. ASAP.

I’ve finished this book and still thinking about it days later! I can’t wait for the release of the second in this series. Many unexpected twists and the end of this one poised it well for a second.
