Cut off from the man she loves after an attack, a princess crosses a monster-haunted realm with a child in her care. Devney Perry's Rites of the Starling continues the Shield of Sparrows romantasy.
Readical Key Points
Book two of the Shield of Sparrows trilogy; best read after Shield of Sparrows
An epic romantic fantasy with a slow-burn love story
Hardcover, 500 pages, Entangled: Red Tower Books, 2026
Calandra's five kingdoms are close to ruin, and the crux migration is coming. Odessa, a princess of Quentis, tells the story herself: hunted, exhausted and taken captive by a powerful priest, with a young girl depending on her to stay alive. Everyone around her seems to have a use in mind for her, and few of them match her own.
This is the middle book of a planned trilogy and builds directly on the first, so readers new to the series should begin with Shield of Sparrows. It suits readers of adult romantic fantasy who like a large invented world, a dangerous journey and a love story that takes its time. The kingdoms are the backdrop; the real weight is what one person can carry.
