About this listen

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.

Perfection!!

From the performances to the world building and magic system to the romance, it was perfection. We probably all knew the first twist was coming, but the rest, I was unprepared.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ♾️/5 (All the Stars!!!)
🌶️🌶️ 2/5

"If I truly wanted to be in control of my destiny, then I couldn’t wait for someone else to save me from danger. The only person who was always going to fight for me was me."

Audio Review:
This book is told in dual POV narration with Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke. Samantha was absolutely captivating with her storytelling and had never unable to stop listening.

Book Review:
THIS BOOK!!! 🙌🙌 Absolutely AMAZING!!! From the moment I picked it up until the evening that I reluctantly put it down, I was captivated by this story!!! Devney has created a world that you just want to live in. I never once felt a leg in the story or any kind of information dump. The whole book was perfectlly written. I felt like I was given the perfect amount of world building to fully understand everything happening. The banter in this book has me constantly laughing. I loved the found family in this book. I laughed, I swooned, and I even cried a little. The end of this book has me on the edge of my seat but the cliffhanger has killed me!!! I don't know how to move on.. I need MORE!!!! I cannot recommend this book enough!!

"He was a man who’d follow me off the cliff, who’d jump at my side, not pull me away from its edge."

“When I am nothing but dust and ash, Turah will endure. I do not need a crown. And I have made peace with my destiny. But before I step into my grave, my choice is you.”

The world building!

I’m not okay!
I need more, like now!
This was such a fun but wild escape from reality! I’m a little mad at myself for reading it so fast but that’s on me!
The world building and perfect characters are everything I needed!

NEXT BOOK NOW PLEASE!!!!

I don’t even know where to start! I couldn’t stop listening. I kind of predicted what would happen with the men in this book, but other than that, the plot twists were TWISTING! The MFC was strong, so funny, and very easy to root for. My heart broke for her at some of the betrayals she faced. You will not regret spending a credit on this one!

The slow burn scorched my heart

I could not put this book down. I got sucked in from the first jump from the cliff. I loved every minute of the adventure. I cannot wait for the next book. I just adore the characters, the setting and the plot twists along the way. We need more Odessa!
