Book Review: The Decoy
Posted on 20/08/2024 15:39:29The Decoy by Janny Wurts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A tale of blood, of honour, of courage and of sacrifice!
A mere 32 pages, but they will keep you glued to your seat until you've read the very last word!
Falion sen Ardhai, town born to a glass artisan and a clanbred woman, maintains his uneasy, dual heritage as a free wilds courier when a message of sensitive urgency sends him to Avenor.
Considering himself a nobody and rattled to be tossed headlong into the nexus of greater affairs, Falion ends up on a horse bound at speed for Avenor to deliver a crucial message to the queen regent, the last surviving member of the royal family.
A lanky lad, constantly stumbling and tripping over his own feet and more likely to nick himself with a blade while drawing it than even pointing it the proper way towards an enemy; Falion finds himself thrust in the midst of a bloody uprising through which he must slip unseen and unknown and fulfill a mission of utmost importance for humanity's very survival.
But no plan ever unfolds as we expect and nothing is ever as it seems!
Armed with only a brave heart and a long knife Falion is placed at the crossroads of fate and must brave a test of courage beyond his imagining.
A decoy will be needed for the clans' survival. A bloody, brutal one; sorrowful enough to break a heart!!
Will Falion have the strength to provide it?
For the readers of Wars of Light and Shadow - YOU HAVE GOT TO READ THIS!!
For first time readers of Janny Wurts' works - this will give you a nice picture of what her books are like.
A wonderful, unforgettable short story that I couldn't set down!
I highly recommend it to all those who favour bravery and honour.
Hope you will love it just as much as I did!
Happy reading. :)
