About this listen

Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy, where enemies become lovers, monsters roam a cursed realm, and a forgotten princess finds the power to burn a kingdom down.

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.

I didn't need a deity to remind me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance—twenty-three years of empty titles and hollow traditions. My sister revels in the spectacle, basking in the attention and flawlessly playing her part. I was never asked to be part of the charade.

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. The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty in blood, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm.

That was the day I learned that not all myths are make-believe. That lies and legends are often the same. And that the only way to kill the monsters we fear was to become one . . .

Contains mature themes.

The audible narration of this book was excellent. The way it was read and delivered totally enhanced the enjoyment of the story. I couldn’t have picked two better narrators for this job. I look forward to hearing more of Jason Clark’s voice in the next book.

Good book

Great story, typical romantasy stuff but very enjoyable. so many twists and reveals. Samantha Brentmoor's performance was unbelievable and I forgot this wasn't a full cast performance more than a few times. Samantha made this story soo much better and delivered with all the emotion. I will listen to anything she does!
I need book 2 now please and thank you!
