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.

This audiobook offers a mesmerizing blend of slow-burn romance and high-stakes fantasy. Odessa, a reluctant princess, is thrust into an arranged marriage with Prince Zavier. Together, they navigate dangerous lands filled with monsters and political intrigue. Samantha Brentmoor delivers a standout performance, skillfully portraying Odessa's transformation from hesitant princess to strong and determined warrior. Brentmoor's voice conveys both Odessa's vulnerability and inner strength, drawing listeners into her emotional journey. Jason Clarke's portrayal of the stoic Guardian adds a perfect balance of intensity and mystery to the pair's enemies-to-lovers dynamic. The narrators' performances enhance the emotional depth of the characters, making each twist and turn even more engaging. Clarke's voice contrasts beautifully with Brentmoor's, deepening the emotional resonance of the story. F.S.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine
