Bookseller recommendation

“This is a new series, so only book one has been released, but it has the potential to be my favorite romantasy series! The banter is so good! The FMC is brave and I find myself rooting for her constantly! You will not be disappointed if you love a good kingdom rivalry, forced marriage, and enemies to lovers.”
— Abbie • Bound Books

Bookseller recommendation

“The ignored princess is taken from her home and married off to a prince in another kingdom. She must become a spy for her father, even though she's not a very good liar. This book is full of slow-burn angst, sickly monsters, & great character development. This is great for the people who feel like they aren't good enough, and grow to their full potential. ”

Bookseller recommendation

“Shield of Sparrows swept me away from the very first chapter. Devney Perry delivers an intoxicating mix of political intrigue, dangerous creatures, and a slow-burn romance that had me hooked until the last page. Odessa is a heroine you can root for—resilient, resourceful, and willing to stand her ground even when the odds are stacked against her. The world-building is immersive without feeling overwhelming, and the tension—both romantic and life-or-death—builds beautifully. By the end, I wasn’t just invested in the fate of the kingdom—I was counting the days until the sequel. If you love romantasy with high stakes, rich atmosphere, and a love story worth fighting for, this one deserves a spot at the top of your list.”

“The story is sooo good. Great slow burn and banter and not a copycat of everything out there. Crazy good ending- book 2 will be great! ”

Bookseller recommendation

“A masterclass in romantic suspense. Shield of Sparrows is a breathtaking story of healing, trust, and a love that acts as both a sword and a shield. Silas and Arlo have officially claimed the title of my favorite Devney Perry couple. If you want a book that will make you cry, cheer, and blush all at once, this is the one.”

Summary

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.
