Shield of Sparrows (Shield of Sparrows, #1)

by Devney Perry

King cannot kill his Sparrow, and a Sparrow cannot kill her King, either directly or indirectly, without death befalling them both.

And one man was out there fighting. He was going to die, wasn’t he? He couldn’t fight that many monsters, not alone. My heart lurched. He was too stubborn, too much of a monster himself, to die. He hadn’t pestered me enough to die. Not today.
