Shield of Sparrows

<p><b>DISCOVER YOUR NEW ROMANTASY OBSESSION IN THIS EPIC STORY FILLED WITH LEGENDS AND MAGICAL CREATURES.</b></p><p><br><b>'IF YOU'RE NOT TERRIFIED YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG'</b><br><br> -<br><br> Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters upon the five kingdoms of Calandra to remind us that humans are insignificant – that we must pray to the gods for mercy throughout our fragile, fleeting lives.<br><br> I didn’t need a deity to remind me I was powerless.<br><br> Being a princess had never been more than a performance – twenty-three years of empty titles and hollow traditions.<br><br> Until the day an infamous monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince walked into my father’s throne room and ruined my life.<br><br> The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm.<br><br> That was the day I learned that not all myths are make-believe. That lies and legends are often the same.<br><br> <b>And that the only way to kill the monsters we fear was to become one . . .</b><br></p>
