Shield of Sparrows
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?

Devney Perry
Devney Perry writes with the heart of someone who knows small towns intimately, their secrets, their charm, and the way love can burn quietly before it takes over completely. Her novels, whether rooted in Montana’s rugged landscapes or unfolding in fantastical realms filled with monsters and magic, carry the same signature: deeply felt romance woven into worlds that feel lived-in and real.
Her road to publishing was not mapped out early. After years working in the tech industry, she stepped away to raise her children, only to find her creativity stirring during the quiet moments at home. What began as a single blank document soon became her debut novel, and from there, she never looked back. Since then, she has written dozens of books, from bestselling small-town romances to her newest foray into romantasy with Shield of Sparrows.
Shield of Sparrows
Shield of Sparrows opens a world where kingdoms are fractured, monsters roam the forests and mountains, and every choice carries weight far beyond the self. A princess once sheltered by courtly life is thrust into a journey that tests courage, wit, and heart, forcing her to confront dangers both human and otherworldly. The land she crosses is alive with secrets, from mist shrouded forests to crumbling fortresses, where every shadow could conceal a threat or an unexpected ally.
Shield of Sparrows consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
