ROYAL
DECOY: Summary
A SERVANT
blackmailed into becoming a princess’s decoy.
A BODYGUARD
determined to keep her alive.
A PRINCE forced to
execute his father’s brutal laws.
A PRISONER used to
keep him compliant.
A WORLD on the brink
of war.
In one horrible
night, Clare goes from kitchen maid to royal decoy. She has three months to
become the princess's perfect double so she can ensure her betrothal to an
enemy prince. Desperate to survive, Clare throws herself into self-defense
training, taught by her distractingly attractive bodyguard. The danger
increases when a ruthless assassin begins stalking her, intent on ending the
tenuous peace.
Across the northern
mountains, Prince Grayson is his father’s ultimate weapon. He carries out the
king’s harsh orders because the one person he cares about is his father’s
prisoner. Grayson's silent obedience is tested when his father plans to exploit
the marriage alliance between two of their greatest enemies. If Grayson
submits, the blood of thousands will spill. If he resists, the girl who means
everything to him will die.
The fate of
Eyrinthia hangs in the balance. Some want peace. Some want war. All will be
thrown into chaos.
My Review
Royal Decoy is a YA Fantasy that has a wonderful story. The novel has two separate storylines going on but it is so easy to follow. I love a novel that goes along at a fast pace with a lot of mystery, action, and great characters. Clare is a poor peasant that goes from a kitchen worker to living in the palace. She is likable and easy to cheer for as her life is always in danger as the decoy for the princess of her country. In the second storyline and another country, we meet Grayson a son of the King. Believe it or not, this is another wonderful character that I grew to like immediately, even though he is feared by his people as a vicious killer. He is known as the Black Hand. Grayson has a great love that he needs to protect and can only do this by his obedience to his father. There is more violence in his chapters, but it fits the story and circumstances.
This book grabbed me from the first chapter and is easily read. It really is hard to put down. I didn't figure out the person behind the threats until later than I usually do. This first book does a lot of building up of the world and its characters and I can't wait to read more about them in the next book. The romance is beautifully built at a slow pace but it is sweet. I have to say I think Clare and Bennick are so good together, but I also have a soft spot for Venn.
If you are looking for a good read with royalty, mystery, intrigue, spies, war, and romance, this book has it all. Heather Frost certainly delivers a great read with Royal Decoy.
