What a great ending to the series 🖤
I really felt for Morgan and Draven, this book was filled with death, loss and grief. I felt so sorry for Medra and her circumstances. It wasn’t fair at all 😭

There was so much action in this book, I was on the edge of my seat. The setting got real creepy at times so it really added to the atmosphere of the book. Briar is very descriptive in her writing so we would always get the complete picture of things, even to the tiniest details.

I’ll be honest, there was so many names in the series I got lost and couldn’t keep track of the goddesses/all the legends. So when there was the reveal I was kind of like huh whaaattt 😂 (I eventually understood and everything came together in the end)

“You and I? We’re eternal”
That throne scene omggg 🔥🥵
Shadow daddy Draven come out to play in this book and he was hot!! The spicy scenes in this book were rougher, dirtier and in public!!

Overall I’d recommend this series if you love world building (it is a very descriptive series) politics, character development, magical creatures and powers, enemies to lovers, betrayal and action. There are a lot of darker scenes in this series so I would check the trigger warnings beforehand.

What a perfectly heartbreaking, fitting end to the series.
I can not believe all the ways this book broke my heart, and I loved every word.
We lose people we love, we lose people we hate, and hearts will be broken, but everything happens for a reason.
Draven and Morgan embrace who they are meant to be to the world and each other. I love that the spice did not overpower the plot and instead fit right in.
Read this if you love epic quests, hidden truths, and unending belief in what is right.
Sad to see it end!
I did receive an advanced reader copy but these thoughts and feelings are my own

What an incredible and unexpected ending to this amazing series.

I really enjoyed the characters in this book. They have all changed and grown so much from book one and I've loved the journey.

This is dual POV between Draven and Morgan, although there is a third POV sprinkled through the book, which I thought was unique.

So much of this book felt epic and emotional, knowing I was reading the final book of the series.

The ending of this book had me on my toes and holding my breath. The author did not disappoint with this finale.

Four and a half simply because I wanted more for a certain young character but I'm hoping that just maybe she's in the spin off series coming ?
Ok I'm getting ahead of myself so must address my thoughts on this fabulous conclusion. Morgan is finding her feet as she's now running Camelot with the help of Draven and her trusted friends. Yet she's still desperate to rid the world of the three magical artefacts that her father created. Oh and if she can destroy him as well that's a huge bonus because he's definitely hunting her ! So when allies in a neighbouring kingdom are attacked of course Morgan will go to their aid but with a family like Morgan's you just never know exactly what or even who is coming for you !
Morgan is a steadfast character always absolutely set on doing the right thing no matter how hard. Pairing her with the uber protective Draven gives readers a powerful, balanced love story. If blunt for me the story didn't really take off until they were away from the Rose Court but when the action starts it's a fabulous reminder of the powers these Fae have and just how thoroughly evil and twisted the power hungry ones can be.
It's page turning, inspiring, sad too but the ending felt right and actually quite a revelation too and I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and already look forward to more from this author.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

🥀 A stabby, abused heroine finally coming into her powers
🥀 A shadow daddy “touch her and die” mate
🥀 Diverse, quirky found family with bears
🥀 Magical bonded flying creatures
🥀 A quest that will take them down the darkest road of all...

Book 4…perfection! Did we expect anything less 👀 NOPE! I’m not crying…you’re crying. I loved every single second of this and felt like I lost a best friend once I closed that final chapter, this was a massive page turner that I kept trying to slow down so it didn’t have to end. Briar tied up this series FLAWLESSLY. This series was such an incredible world and story. Briar doesn’t skimp on the rollercoaster of emotions, twists & turns in this and I can honestly say I kept talking to these characters through the book! Literal shock in places!

Morgan and Draven are utter perfection for me and I loved following them through the entire series and seeing them fall into place in this final book. If you want to fall in love with a beautiful world filled with darkness, romance and fantasy please do not hesitate with this series. You’ll be addicted!!

I’m so sad that I’m writing a downer of a review when I’ve read this series now to its completion. I was excited to see what became of all of the chaos that happened in the 3rd book. Unfortunately, this story didn’t connect with me like I hoped. I DNF around 60%. This was really battle heavy and had more new world building it which I wasn’t a fan of. If it was one epic battle I would have been fine but I felt like most was a different conflict happening. This one was just not my cup of tea sadly.

What an ending to an amazing series!!!!!

I just don't want this series to end. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster and an epic journey that I haven't recovered from yet.

If you are looking for a Camelot retelling with a twist, look no further than this series!!!!

Also I want an Exmoor as a pet 🤣

“Knight of the Goddess,” by Briar Boleyn

When another war breaks out in Camelot Morgan and Draven must band together their friends to protect what they have left. This war seems to come with impossible magic linked to the sword, the spear, and the grail as prophesied in the dread curse of three.

I loved this entire series. The first three books made my year amazing last year and then this is the fourth book, and it did not disappoint. I loved Morgan and Draven so much and the things that happen in this book kept me at the edge of the seat. The character development was amazing, and I can’t believe there was still more they could learn and develop even in the fourth book, but Briar Boleyn did it. There was way more action and fighting taking up space in this book than the first three. And I thought I learned my lesson after book 2 with the heartbreak but I was a pile of tears anyways by the end. 5 out of 5 stars, so perfect.

Thank you for the ARC, Netgalley.

Thank you to NetGalley, Briar Boleyn, and the publishers for the opportunity to read this arc.

What a finale. It was a little slow for me in the beginning, but overall loved it. Hated to see the deaths of friends, a bit confused with the different names/lives of Morgan and Draven and the relationships with their pasts, overall I thought it was a good ending to the series.

This is a thrilling, unique and wonderfully depicted ending to a series that just set my imagination ablaze. This has fated mates, a shadow daddy, a reluctant warrior Empress, Fae magic wielders, battlecats and a superb gender swap of the Arthurian legends.

The world is so fully formed and the characters are fully fleshed, flawed and fabulously fun. There is great LGBTQIA representation and characters of all cultures depicted. The little nods to modern day conveniences - think baby slings and baby bottles, are funny little anachronisms.

As the mystery of her lineage unfurls, Morgan goes from strength to strength. Her little tribe of misfits follow her into battle again and again. That final twist really caught me unawares!

Draven is that perfect morally grey, shadow daddy hero we all want and Morgan the intelligent, mentally tough, loyal friend and very reluctant leader. I love that even though her friendship with Lancelet is fractured at times, they still turn up for each other. She makes an impact even on their newest allies and that is what makes the story so wonderful, Morgan is her own hero and she is very much the mover and shaker - Draven is HER sidekick!

I heartily enjoyed this quadrilogy and I've now added all of the authors other books into the TBR from hell! Please please please give this series a go!

Such an amazing ending to this beautiful series!!

I will never stop recommending this series to every fantasy lover that I know!

I really fell in love with all of these Characters and this world that Briar built!

Can’t wait to read more from her!

The last book was still a great book, but the first 70% dragged for me (and, it was the shortest). The book wraps up the story well and there were a few surprises (although some suspected) at the end. Morgan and Draven are off to stop the high fae leader and leave behind and take some friends. They also want to destroy the grail and Excalibur - and find the spear.

It feels bittersweet writing a review for Knight of the Goddess, the fourth and final book in the Blood of a Fae series by Briar Boleyn. I have been an ARC reader since Book 1, Queen of Roses, and I am still honored to have been included in this voyage 🖤
To say I was hooked since the first sentence of the prologue of Book 1 is probably an understatement. I loved this series since the first book, loved following Morgan and Draven on their quests, and loved having the opportunity to see their story end. I am sad, but I am also happy because they did get the ending they deserved 🖤

I won't spoil previous books for you, but in case you're not familiar with the story, the Blood of a Fae series is an excellent Arthurian retelling. Having said that, it is not necessary to know and love the Arthurian tales, but if you do, I can tell you this retelling will be one of your favorite ones. It is a dark fae fantasy romance retelling of Morgan le Fey and Camelot with shadow wielders, magical flying creatures, a wild band of diverse found family, court intrigue, prophecies, and exciting new worlds... Can you ask for more?

Knight of the Goddess, being the fourth and final book, certainly didn't disappoint. It has kept me glued to pages, wanting to know what happens next. Like in all the previous books, my emotions were all over the place - I was sad, devastated, happy, excited, and scared for some of my loving characters, I was crying tears of sadness and happiness, you get the picture.

Knight of the Goddess brings the conclusion to Morgan and Draven's story and their quest to destroy the artifacts and destroy Gorlois le Fay, Morgan's father. It truly is an epic quest, full of adventure, angst, loss, and undying desire to make their world a better place. We are gifted with different POVs, like Morgan's, Draven's, and some other I won't spoil now :) Their found family is there every step of the way, and I loved how close their bond was, and how some relationships were mended in the end.

It wouldn't be the Blood of a Fae series without the eternal love Morgan and Draven share, without their loyal and beautiful Nightclaw and Sunstrike, without the sour yet loyal Ursidaur, without all their friends and family, both Fae and human.

And, don't let me get started on all those revelations, some I really never saw coming, all those identities unlocked and revealed. You will love it and be shocked by it!

🖤 What will you find in the Knight of the Goddess? You will find

🥀 A stabby, abused heroine finally coming into her full powers,
🥀 A shadow-wielding "touch her and die" mate,
🥀 Diverse found family with talking bears,
🥀 Magical bonded flying creatures,
🥀 A quest that will take them down the darkest road of them all...

Blood of a Fae series deserves all the stars, and all the hype it can get, and I strongly recommend you give this series a try 🖤

I picked this up and refused to put it down until I was done! All the feels I felt them, I cried again. I came into this one prepared to be shattered but also put back together. It did just that!

Morgan and Draven are navigating through the world that is falling to pieces around them. Them and their friends are out to end the threat against the world, Morgan’s father.

It was such a breath of fresh air seeing another side of Draven, as a father figure. Yet again this man captures my fancy. He has some of the best quotes.

Bearkin- again gives me so much to laugh about. Mothcakes will now live in my head rent free. But I also truly appreciate how Bearkins character is written. Fierce Loyal and unwavering.

Lancelet and Guinevere- so much character growth in this last book. I felt like my own relationship with these characters also grew. I have so many questions for Guinevere still though.

Medra- there’s a lot to unpack here. Her story you could feel her trauma! She was written so beautifully. Like Guinevere I have so many questions.

Nightclaw and Sunstrike, how could I not adore them. They bring even more to the story like Bearkin. I get all the warm a fuzzy feelings from them like I would my own beloved pets. Nightclaw has my heart.

The spice was definitely there and in some unexpected places. I enjoyed it again.

This book was much darker than the others. I was so mind blown by end I didn’t see that coming. I am sad it’s over, but this will be a series I read again and again

Knight of the Goddess was amazing! This book gave me everything I needed when it came to its characters and the ending. This is the way to end a series. There were so many characters in this series that I love, and dislike and I was more than ready to see how everything played out for everyone, especially Draven, Morgan, Lancelet and Kaye. This book was non-stop action and the power plays within this story lasted until the very end. There have been many battles throughout this series, but this final battle within this family was as overdue and in the end the enemies within the story got exactly what they deserved. There were a lot of amazing characters that we lost but the enemies were everywhere. There were so many twists and turns, past and present unfinished business that needed to be dealt with and this book concluded everything perfectly for me. This paranormal series truly did not disappoint. It is a series full of non-stop action, mystery, suspense, war, death, betrayal, enemies, allies, traitors, sacrifices, friendship, romance, love, hate, family, friends, steamy scenes, laugh out loud moments and so much more. There was never a dull moment and after reading all 4 books I still wanted more of these characters. I wanted more of their peaceful HEA and love since these characters fought so hard for it. I do wish the epilogue gave us a little more of Draven and Morgan, but I still enjoyed the ending. This is a series I can definitely read again and will be recommending to every book loving friend I know. This series left me looking forward to reading more books from this author and I'm excited to find my next fantastic read.

Knight of the Goddess was an incredible finale to a great and compelling series by Briar Boleyn. This series was my first Camelot reimagining/retelling, and I’ve really enjoyed it!

This series has really gripped me from the very beginning. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the finale and was not left disappointed! It felt like everything was wrapped up wonderfully. I wasn’t left with any major questions. I felt the world building was excellently done throughout the entire series. Some characters had it a little rougher than others at the end for sure though. Draven and Morgan had a really great dynamic throughout this book as well. Their relationship felt healthy and organic and their chemistry remained unscathed by all they go through. I’ll be sad to say goodbye to them but things were left on a hopeful note for the group and that’s all I can ask for.

Overall, I highly recommend the Blood of a Fae series! I’ve really enjoyed my time with it and can’t wait to see where Briar takes us next! The teaser for On Wings of Blood has me intrigued, and I’m excited to start off on a new adventure guided by Briar Boleyn soon.

Thank you so much to Briar Boleyn, Starwater Press, and NetGalley for the ARC of Knight of the Goddess. All opinions are, of course, my own.

An EPIC conclusion to an epic series!!
I don’t even know where to start with this book as I am still reeling from this book. Boleyn certainly did a doozy of ripping out my heart and ever so slowly piecing it back together.

The fourth and final book is a culmination of a beautifully written story. Morgan, Draven and their friends embark on their quest to destroy the three artifacts and her father. This quest is filled with perilous adventure that brings so much loss and heartbreak. But it also brings with it new found love and strengthened friendships. Together, they are hell bent on making their world a better safer place.

Morgan and Draven’s bond just continues to strengthen in this book. Their love and devotion is truly swoon worthy. Morgan is the epitome of a strong resilient FMC and Draven is the delicious shadow daddy that we all wish we had in our life.

The entire story came together beautifully! The writing and the character growth was truly breathtaking. This book was full of adventure, angst and heartbreaking loss. And, oh, the twists and revelations in this left me trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. I had a few suspicions, but I most assuredly did not expect the identities and secrets that were revealed. This book had me so enthralled and wanting more!

Blood of a Fae is a quite amazing dark Arthurian/Camelot retelling that is deliciously twisted. Who would have thought to make Arthur a villain…brilliant! I loved the gender swaps of some characters as well. Most importantly, is the story of Morgan le Fey. Of how she came to be, her journey to find her purpose and her undying love for her mate and found family.

I highly recommend this series if you like fantasy romance, Arthurian legend, enemies to lovers, found family, touch her and ☠️ with a steamy shadow daddy!

As this is a dark and twisted fantasy romance, please check trigger warnings prior to reading this series!

Thank you to Briar Boleyn, NetGalley and Starwater Press for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC!

I want to thank the author and netgalley for this ARC. I honestly devoured this book. The story is fascinating. The world building was captivating and the characters were well developed. The magic in this story lets us dream of a different world and escape reality a little.

The amount of times I was pushed to the verge of tears while reading this book. Once right before I had to log in for a Teams call at work. (But even that won’t stop me from reading on my lunch breaks.)

Briar Boleyn is an always-read author for me. She writes so beautifully - the way she uses language in general, the descriptions, the world building, the character development, the twists. The heartbreak.

Blood of a Fae is one of my favorite series, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that I’ll be rereading the entire thing. I have the ARCs, I have the ebooks, and I long for the day I can own the physical copies. I will never stop recommending these books.

Knight of the Goddess is the brutal and beautiful end of this story. There are new discoveries, there is spice, there is heartbreak, there is loss, but there is still a HEA. I’ve just finished reading it and I feel somewhat lost and so sad. Honestly. I need some quiet time by myself, to sit alone until I’m ready to face the world again.

For me, the beauty of these characters lies in their pain, their love for one another, their healing, their carrying on.

Briar is a master storyteller, and I’m honored to have been allowed to participate in this journey in some small way.

Hey everyone, I just wrapped up the entire series, and let me tell you, it's been quite the journey. Overall, I have to say it's a good series, one that kept me glued to the pages for days on end. However, as much as I enjoyed it, there were some aspects that left me feeling a bit disappointed by the end.

Firstly, let's talk about Morgan. In the first two books, she was portrayed as a strong character, albeit with a touch of naivety. She knew what she wanted and was determined to save herself. However, as the series progressed, I couldn't shake the feeling that she lost some of that strength. Suddenly, she seemed more naive and forgiving, which didn't quite align with the Morgan I knew from earlier on. There was so much potential for her character growth, and I wished she had maintained that power throughout.

Now, onto the smutty parts. Let's be real, some of them felt a tad cringy. But hey, it's all part of the story, right?

Lastly, a word of caution: Please, please read the trigger warnings before diving into this series. There are some heavy themes and content that might not sit well with everyone.

Despite my reservations, I have to admit it's still a good story with a kind of satisfying ending. So if you're up for a rollercoaster of emotions, give it a go, but just be prepared for a few bumps along the way.
