Shield of Sparrows (Shield of Sparrows, #1)

by Devney Perry

“When I am nothing but dust and ash, Turah will endure. I do not need a crown. And I have made peace with my destiny. But before I step into my grave, my choice is you.”

Ransom was mine. Every flaw. Every perfection. “This is my choice.” I slid my palm into his. Scar to scar. I pulled him close, holding those green eyes as I lifted onto my toes and let my whisper caress his lips. “You. You are my choice.” A growl tore from his throat before he crushed his mouth against mine.

Hot tears dripped to the dirt at my boots. “I love you.” “Yes, you do. Don’t forget.” “Never.” “Neither will I.” His throat bobbed as he swallowed. “I will find you. Here, or in the shades.”
