A constable and a physician-each hiding who they truly are-must join forces to save their village from a ruthless brother-sister pair of rogue mages and their army of beasts. The village of Stonefall lies on the western frontier of the Arkadian Dominion, not far from the Poisoned Lands. There, Malcolm Jabari lives under the false surname Kent, serving quietly as the town's constable. But Malcolm was once a Lionheart Knight-the lone survivor when his order was betrayed and slaughtered by the Spider Priests. His first love died to save him. Now, with the Spider Cult in favor with the Dominus, exposure would mean certain death. Two years ago, Tristan Atwater returned home to serve as Stonefall's physician. Once conscripted as a Dominion mage, he was crippled and stripped of his power by the very man who claimed to love him. Rebuilding a quiet life, he keeps secret the truth that some of his magic has returned-because discovery would cost him his freedom. When rogue mages from Tristan's past, Andromeda and Cassius Blackthorn descend on Stonefall with an army of enthralled beasts and a monstrous demand, Malcolm and Tristan become the village's first-and only-line of defense. To protect their people, they must risk revealing their deepest secrets, first to each other and then to the world. As their bond deepens, the stakes rise. Have they found love only to lose everything-or can they defy fate itself to save the ones they love? The Lion and the Sparrow is the newest Romantic Fantasy novel from Chad Grayson.
Chad Grayson has worn many hats: tech support flunky, gas station philosopher, reluctant middle school wrangler, and, for one unforgettable night, cheese-mold removal specialist. These days he lives in far Northern California, where he writes hopeful, character-focused sci-fi and fantasy that will break your heart and duct tape it back together. He can usually be found painting tiny fantasy heroes and monsters, wandering the woods in deep narrative contemplation, or yelling at his plot outlines like they've personally betrayed him (they know what they did). His superpowers include procrastination, dyscalculia, and making emotionally devastating story beats sound like a perfectly reasonable life choice.
