A princess separated from her love embarks on a desperate, dangerous journey across a cursed realm to uncover the truth about her family—and discovers that her quest might be the only thing standing between her world and total destruction. Hunted by monsters, tested to her limits, and forced to protect a child who depends on her, she begins to understand that the power everyone wants to control has always lived within her. As magic collides with destiny and secrets unravel, she faces an impossible choice: become the sacrifice everyone expects, or embrace the strength and darkness she's been afraid to claim. This sweeping romantasy is a thrilling ride of heart-pounding action, soul-deep romance, and the kind of character transformation that will leave you breathless.

“Shield of Sparrows is like also giving sort of Throne of Glass epic journey vibes. Tension and yearning off the charts. Plot twists and the last like 50 pages of this book. I was in a state.”

“I cannot wait for Rites of the Starling. In a few weeks, we just got a preview of the prologue, the first page, and I dropped everything to read it. I will drop everything for any books in this series.”
