Shield of Sparrows (Shield of Sparrows, #1)

by Devney Perry

Who would I become if I wasn’t at the mercy of men?

But what if Allesaria was a lie?

“Please don’t leave me in the dark. I have been pushed to the side, dismissed, and overlooked my entire life.”

“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.”

“This is my choice.” I slid my palm into his. Scar to scar.

“You. You are my choice.”

The crux landed at his back, the ground shaking as she dropped. And Ransom, my Guardian, turned to fight. To show that bitch who the real monster in Calandra was.
