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.

Captivating story, I like the twist. Needed a little more romance but I feel it’s because is the first book and the story needed to be set. I would tell readers to pay attention to her questions, even when her monologue was cringy and exhausting, it had clues. Overall I enjoyed it a lot.

Love love love!!

Wow. Samantha Brentmoor killed it, as usual. Her pacing is incredible. I hope the next book is from the Guardian's point of view, though, because I imagine that Jason Clarke will be just as amazing. Loved the story, though I was on to several of the twists before they happened. Still feel in the dark overall, though, so I'm hooked. There are lots of little clues that have been laid out but not yet explained, and I look forward to learning more about them.

There was a moment where I had a hard time, getting locked into the story, and didn’t know where it was going, but I stuck with it and eventually it turned out to be good, and I’m looking forward to the next book. The narrator had a slight accent, which was kind of interesting as well.

I enjoyed the cadence, I’d read the physical book before so I knew what to expect but the flow of the read was great! The book is one of my favorite stories

Can’t wait for the next one. It really set the scene and worth listening to.

Profile Avatar Anne S. Dec 2025

What killed my vibe was the narrators. Its a small thing but it really sets the scene and imersion. The narrator always had an inflection that went up at the end of the sentence and the voices were not nuanced enougk for me. I am waiting for graphic audio to do this one and i will return to it.

This story is riveting ! keeps your attention to the end!

Profile Avatar Perry C. Oct 2025

This book had moments of writing that expressed human emotions with significant empathy. However, it was very slow at times, with too much prolonged inner turmoil. Further, I often found it difficult to determine inner thoughts from actual conversations. I would recommend this book even though the ending was very dissatisfying. Overall it was well written okay story line but again it just didn’t completely hit the mark.

I enjoyed the read I can't wait for the next to come out

I want more!

Profile Avatar Tracey W. Sep 2025

Good book but now have to wait until April 2026 to get more answers to endless questions. Samantha Brentmoor did really well on differentiating voices for the various characters but this would have been even better if it was read in duet. I was bummed that Jason Clarke only read the final chapter.

Profile Avatar Sarah M. Aug 2025

This book was recommended on Booktok, and it was insufferable. It took so long until the very end for it to even barely get interesting, I almost DNF. These fantasy books are becoming all the same. It's getting old.
