Shield of Sparrows (Shield of Sparrows, #1)

by Devney Perry

The Guardian. A man rumored to be more vicious and deadly than any creature crafted by the gods.

My value was going up. Good for me.

I love a sarcastic fmc

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

Why do I feel like the guardian is the actual king and the quiet one isn’t.

“Not all monsters are born from the gods, my queen. Some of us were made.”

“Did you ever stop to think that maybe the door to your cage has always been unlocked, Sparrow? And all you had to do was push it open?”

My eyes flew open. And what I saw made my knees buckle. This wasn’t the same man I’d been verbally sparring with for weeks. This wasn’t the same man who’d taunted me relentlessly. This man was a monster.

“It’s you.”

Knew it

“That child was born to fly.” Cathlin stared at Evie with love brimming in her gaze. A mother’s love? “You will all need to be mindful not to clip her wings.”

Banner and Brielle.

Does she have no loyalty from anyone. Even ransom won’t give her whole truths. I’m frustrated for her.

“I will find you. Here, or in the shades.”

Fuck, my heart.

“Any crux killed was just a monster. What do you think this means?”

If that’s odessas mom, maybe she started early for a reason. Also, I wonder if Odessa was so sheltered because of her mom, it may seem like Margot was envious of her mother’s ghost, but maybe she covered her hair to protect her. Maybe her dad and Margot know some secrets and kept her hidden as the “spare” princess to protect her. So many theories swimming through my head.
