Shield of Sparrows

De: Devney Perry

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke

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?

Contains mature themes.

Absolutely phenomenal – 100% worth the hype

Absolutely phenomenal—100% worth the hype! This book has been making waves on BookTok, and it completely delivered. The storyline pulls you in from the start and keeps you hooked all the way through—I definitely lost sleep over this one! The narration was strong overall, with each character brought to life beautifully. The only odd moment was a last-chapter switch in the male voice, but it didn’t take away from the overall performance.

The main female character experiences tremendous growth throughout the story. She’s not overly confident, but her determination to rise beyond her limits was inspiring and a joy to follow. The male lead was refreshing—not too broody, and his sense of humor added just the right touch of charm.

This was a unique fantasy read that quickly climbed to the top of my list. Be warned—it ends on a cliffhanger, but I highly recommend giving it a listen. I’ll definitely be watching for the next book!

Absolutely Amazing!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Isn't she lovelyyyyy... I absolutely DEVOURED "Shield of Sparrows"! I pre-ordered this stunning book trophy even though I listened to Audible. The plot, the characters, the world I just completely immersed myself! I absolutely loved Odessa's strength and The Guardian (insert drool". The Narrator's did such an amazing job bringing these characters to life! The more I read the more I wanted, but was devastated at the thought of this book ending.😭 Devney's writing is always beautiful however this was absolutely spectacular! @devneyperry you have found your niche! I am begging you for MORE! 💖

The strength in the word No

I loved this book. I loved the growth of the heroin. From a dutiful daughter to saying no. The love from afar I could feel in the pages lead to a slow burn in the end. I can't not wait for book 2! This is a 3 book series.

perfect narrator choice

I absolutely love Samantha Bretmoore as a narrator. she's got a very curious and mischievous quality to her.
also the premise of this story is so unique and I really enjoyed all the twists and turns.

Awesome!

I am obsessed and I cannot wait to find out what happens in the next book. I can’t even really talk about too much because it will give it away so because I don’t wanna do any spoilers, I will say things are not always as they seem some things need to be said sooner, and there are a lot of mysteries yet to be solved.

Love the story

This was a perfect enemies to lovers slow burn! I really enjoyed how much depth was given to the supporting characters and the storyline kept me guessing. The only downfall was that you could barely hear the male characters. I cannot wait until book 2.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Such a great read and lots of world building. The plot twists are amazing and I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

****Fantastic Read****

The twists and turns!!! Wow!! The ending holy cow! I can not wait till the next book

Lots of twists and turns

Didn’t need the sex scenes. Didn’t add anything to the story, but the story itself was very enjoyable. Looking forward to the sequel.

Devoured this one!

Loved the world, story, vibe, slow burn... everything! I absolutely devoured this and I'm itching for the next book already.
Also Love Samantha's narration, always! but this would have been flawless as a duet with an actual male voice 🔥
