S2 EP3 Shield of Sparrows

Don’t have time for a reread? Need a quick and slightly unhinged recap? Join Melle & Ky as we yap about Shield of Sparrows by Deveny Perry! Book 2: Rites of The Starling releases in 2 weeks! (April 7!) 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? Yes, there will be spoilers! We paired this episode with a Tokyo Tea! Bottoms up!🥂📚 Ky & Melle

She possesses the power to turn her blood into a deadly poison that kills vampires. An ability she swore never to use until she learned that her sister was dying.

But desperation leads to foolish mistakes, and when she accidentally reveals her power to a mysterious stranger, she is forced to make a difficult choice. Use her ability to assassinate the Crown Prince or watch her sister die. The decision is easy, and it's not long before Adina manages to use her wits and cunning to embed herself into the prince's life. But making the kill is not as simple as she anticipates, especially when fate seems hell-bent on drawing the pair together. And when whispers of a war start to arise, Adina realizes that there may be bigger issues than just saving her sister. But time is closing in, and soon she will be forced to make a choice. Her sister? Her kingdom? Or her heart? Because one thing is clear, she cannot save them all. This is book one in Charlene's slowburn, romantic fantasy series, Blood Vows.
