A princess bound to a treaty and an unwanted future

In a realm where gods send monsters into five kingdoms, a princess raised to obey is drawn into an ancient treaty sealed with her blood. Her journey takes her across dangerous lands beside a monster hunter who despises her, while expectations of queenship, spying, and sacrifice press in from every side. The story brings political obligation and a fraught enemies-to-lovers partnership into a fantasy setting shaped by monsters and divine power. Its central question is whether a role chosen by others can be refused—and what an underestimated princess might do with power of her own. This is the first book in the Shield of Sparrows trilogy, which the publisher says is best enjoyed in order.

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?

The stunning DELUXE PAPERBACK EDITION features an exclusive bonus scene from the hero's POV, brand-new stenciled edges, and original interior cover artwork. This breathtaking collectible is available only in the U.S. and Canada and is a must-have for any book lover.

The Shield of Sparrows trilogy is an epic slow-burn romantasy best enjoyed in order.
