Titles in this Set: 1. Shield of Sparrows 2. Rites of the Starling Description: Shield of Sparrows Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters to remind us of our insignificance. But I didn’t need a deity to tell me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance. Until the day an infamous monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm. That was the day I learned that not all myths are make-believe. And that the only way to kill the monsters we fear was to become one . . . Rites of the Starling Calandra’s five kingdoms are on the verge of destruction. The crux migration is coming. And in the wake of a devastating attack, I’ve been separated from the man who owns my heart. I’m lost. Terrified. Homesick. Hunted by monsters, driven to exhaustion, and kidnapped by a powerful priest, the only thing keeping me going is the little girl counting on me to keep her safe. It’s my turn to become the Guardian. Our lives change one fateful night. A night of death. A night of monsters. A night of truths. That night, when I learn the real meaning of fear and the depth of my own strength. Everyone wants me to be something I’m not a queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if I embrace my crown? What if the secrets I uncover save our realm?
