Decoys of Arlom
Not yet published
Expected 26 Feb 26
A decision made by one can change the fate of all.
The aftermath of the Royal Forum has torn the continent of Fyriane apart. To avoid a coup in the Kingdom of Arlom, a line must be drawn, and a delicate balance struck.
With that balance comes a reluctant truce with the Queendom of Nyarelle and Kingdom of Marlyst. For without them, I may never survive the coming months, never discover the truths of Fyriane, and where my duties lie.
But the time for seeking answers, I found, has long past. The war I sought to avoid, has already begun.
While the monarchs struggle to navigate the growing conflict, a deeper threat lurks amongst us. Hiding in the shadows. Just beyond our shores. Waiting to strike.
It all starts with one. One choice. One royal.
One decoy.

Wow, the anticipation of this second book did not disappoint. The way POS left me hanging at the end, I couldn’t wait for this to come. It started with a bang and kept me hooked the whole way through. Learning more about the characters and their back stories. I can’t believe how many times I said ‘no way’ and then picking up POS to go, oooh sneaky to know we had some Easter eggs already. Great read, can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Decoys of Arlom is a multi POV espionage-laced political fantasy. The pacing is strong right out the gate and never loses momentum.
Dwy was an absolute standout for me. Watching her take matters into her own hands was deeply satisfying, the antagonists(of which we also get a POV) are excellent foils for her. H.J. Bogue truly excels at writing vixens and villains alike.
Valare faces so many battles physically and mentally(seriously is my girl ever going to get a break?) and her growing arsenal of powers is getting more iconic by the book. I also really love her dynamic with Xy. Their romance is so organic after what feels like the slowest of burns between these two powerhouses.
When the twists hit, oh do they hit. I genuinely didn’t see many of them coming, especially the biggest of reveals at the end. The payoff was excellent and left me more than ready for what comes next.

Review of advance copy received from Author
All I can say is wow. The sequel to Pawns of Salistya is incredible. The twists, turns and surprises had me captive from the first page. Loved the character development, epic fight scenes and the politics amongst the characters and kingdoms. Can't wait for the rest of the series to be published !!
