_Rites of the Starling_ is the epic, heart-pounding sequel to Devney Perry’s #1 New York Times bestselling _Shield of Sparrows_. A princess journeys across a cursed realm to find the truth about her family, only to discover her quest intertwines with the fate of a lost warrior. Love, danger, and magic collide in a captivating romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros.

**Calandra’s five kingdoms are on the verge of destruction.** The crux migration is coming. And in the wake of a devastating attack, I’ve been separated from the man who owns my heart.

I’m lost. Terrified. Homesick. Hunted by monsters, driven to exhaustion, and kidnapped by a powerful priest, the only thing keeping me going is the little girl counting on me to keep her safe.

**It’s my turn to become the Guardian.** Our lives change one fateful night. A night of death. A night of monsters. A night of truths. That night, when I learn the real meaning of fear—and the depth of my own strength.

**Everyone wants me to be something I’m not—a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.** But what if I embrace my crown? What if the secrets I uncover save our realm?

What if my sacrifice means salvation for the man I love? For too long, I’ve feared the monsters we make.

**It’s time to discover the monster within.** The _Shield of Sparrows_ series is best enjoyed in order.
