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.

It was going well…

Male narrator only narrates the last 5 minute chapter. Female narrator does the male voices throughout the rest of the book and does the voices infuriatingly low.
Made it very difficult to listen to the book in the car or when doing any house work as you actually can’t hear the voices.
Especially irritating as there’s a lot of times where male characters are talking or saying things important to the plot. Main narrator did well with female voices otherwise just really let down by the ridiculously low male volume.
Story itself was enjoyable, plot twist felt quite predictable and story became quite repetitive at some points, however kept me reasonably interested throughout.
Interesting story, terrible male narration
