Shield of Sparrows

An epic romantasy of legends, gods, and destiny: A princess is chosen to fulfill an ancient treaty and must travel with an infamous monster slayer. Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters to humble humanity, but the princess already knew powerlessness—her royal life was only a performance. Everything changes when a famed hunter arrives, she marries a stranger, and signs a magical treaty that sends her across the continent to the realm’s most treacherous kingdom. There, she discovers myths are real, monsters walk the land, and the only way to defeat the horrors they fear… is to become one.
