Sparrow Shield

I have always lived in my sister's shadow. It was she who was raised as a Sparrow, destined for a political marriage that would secure a fragile peace between kingdoms plagued by monster attacks. But the plans fell through, and I found myself caught between my own father's intrigues, a cold husband, and a dangerous Guardian who is supposed to watch over me. Am I to become a shield, a weapon, or just another victim? Time is running out, ruin is on the horizon, and I must act, all the while not knowing if the real monsters are the creatures outside, or the people around me.
