Description

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

RITES OF THE STARLING is the epic, heart-pounding sequel to Devney Perry’s #1 New York Times bestselling SHIELD OF SPARROWS. A princess journeys across a cursed realm to find the truth about her family, only to discover her quest intertwines with the fate of a lost warrior. Love, danger, and magic collide in a captivating romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros.

​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, 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?

​What if my sacrifice means salvation for the man I love?

For too long, I’ve feared the monsters we make.

​It’s time to discover the monster within.​

The Shield of Sparrows trilogy is an epic slow-burn romantasy best enjoyed in order.

  • Disappointing after Shield of Sparrow

    By Deesley
    Disappointing after Shield of Sparrows. Shifts in chapters on characters were too quick quick. writing style stayed the same whether the first person narrator of Odessa, Caspia or even Ransom. Too much fantasy geography at the expense of character and relationship development. More clues throughout would enhance reader engagement on the history and sources of magic. The Prologue sets the stage for another book in the future. Hope it is better!

  • My honest review

    It took me forever to try and finish this book. I loved the first book and I really wanted to know the end of the cliffhanger for the 1st book so I hung on till the end. Overall the book was okay, but it was kinda boring as well. All the unanswered questions got annoying and I hated how the author just thrust a new pov of a character we didn’t even know. I also love the romance in these books but there was literally none of it till 50% of the book and it wasn’t really anything good. This book just felt like a collection of random stories that were meant to reveal something I already guesses from the very beginning. Kinda disappointed. However, I’m still reading the next book.

    The beginning was confusing with a new character and her POV without any build up or knowing how it relates to the main story so it was kind of hard to get into it.
    But once all the dots started to connect, I couldn’t put the book down. It’s so good
