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?

Great Narration, great cast.

Just disappointed that we have to wait several months for Part 2. So pleased to hear “Cassian” again.

Loved 😍

Anything that comes from GA is absolutely amazing! Listening to this story with all the added details made it so much more alive. Can't wait for part 2!!!!

Beautiful

The place they left off was heartbreakingly beautiful. Wow, this audiobook was done perfectly and the voice actors brought me to tears with how well they captured the characters. Well done.

Loved! What a great audio! Need 2nd half sooner!

Length of time for 2nd part of a book takes too long; need a lot sooner so you’re still invested in the story.

Jon Vertullo as the Guardian is perfection!

When I first read this book I hoped and prayed that Jon Vertullo would voice the Guardian/ Ransom. I couldn’t have had him more perfectly picked out.

Now I usually love Graphic Audio, but the music was a bit grating on this one. I hoping since there will be more action coming up in the second half of the book there won’t be as much music.

Overall I enjoyed the first part, cannot wait until the second!
