Shield of Sparrows (Shield of Sparrows, #1)

“She was my wife. She was my sparrow.”

Callan and Sparrow were forced into a marriage they never wanted. It makes you see how loyalty can grow from a trap. They found a home in the middle of a war.

Sparrow spent her whole life being invisible and quiet. Seeing her finally find her voice against the Lark family was so satisfying. She stopped hiding in the shadows of her brothers.

“She was the only thing in this world that was mine.”

Callan is such a cold, calculated man until he looks at her. It shows how the right person can dismantle your entire defense system. He didn't stand a chance once he let her in.

The way they use a simple touch to communicate moved me. Sometimes words are too heavy for people with their history. Small gestures became their only honest language.
