Shield of Sparrows. Jurământul de sânge

A woman who has always obeyed faces a future she never chose. Long ago, gods sent monsters into five kingdoms to keep mortals under their rule. She has spent her life serving those gods and her father. She never expected to rule or seal an ancient pact with her blood.

A visit to the throne room changes her path. A famed monster hunter arrives, and a prince upends her life. She must then cross dangerous lands with a warrior she despises. He feels the same way about her. Ahead lies marriage to a man she barely knows. Others seek to make her a queen, a spy, or a sacrifice. She starts to question these roles and seek her own freedom. Those who dismiss her may give her a chance to resist.

Devney Perry’s fantasy suits readers drawn to monsters, forced duty, and the struggle for choice. This edition belongs to the Moon Light series and has coloured page edges.
