Shield of sparrows / by Perry, Devney,author.;
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?
