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, 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.

Shield of Sparrows
2 books in catalog
Contemporary and fantasy romance novels exploring emotional relationships, small-town dynamics, and second-chance bonds form the heart of a prolific romance catalog spanning over forty published books. Devney Perry transitioned to full-time fiction writing after spending nearly a decade working in the technology industry, exchanging corporate conference calls and project schedules for story development and family life.
Her fiction frequently draws inspiration from her personal roots in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain region. By setting many of her narrative arcs in small-town environments and western landscapes, Perry delivers immersive romantic narratives that connect strongly with contemporary romance readers.
Born and raised in Montana, Perry developed an early appreciation for regional settings that later became central to her narrative backdrops. Before embarking on her author career, she spent nearly ten years working in corporate technology. Deciding to trade tech industry conference calls for full-time creative writing, she published her debut fiction and gradually expanded her published works into a library of over fifty romance novels. Her titles have earned commercial recognition on the New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon bestseller lists. She resides in Washington state with her husband and two sons while continuing to write romance fiction.
Perry's storytelling centers on deep character connections, emotional vulnerability, second chances, and the comforting atmosphere of close-knit communities. Her books frequently highlight scenic Montana settings and small-town dynamics, balancing romantic tension with grounded, relatable interpersonal relationships. In addition to contemporary romance, her bibliography includes fantasy romance titles that weave romantic plotlines into imaginative world-building and high-stakes tension.
