What a conclusion to the series. Its bittersweet that Blood of a Fae is over. Briar Boleyn did not pull any punches in this book. She did a great job giving our favorite characters more problems to work through, plot twists I wasn't expecting, and all of the gut wrenching emotions. The spice was spicing as always. Morgan is such a baddie, who gets better with every book, tho I did feel there was a bit of a disconnect with her in some parts of the story. Draven is complete perfection from start to finish! That is all I can say right now and leave it spoiler free. I cannot wait to see what Briar throws at us next!

Thank you so much for the ARC !!

This is the fourth and final book of this series... so far... I will explain more in a little bit.

First off, I love this series! I enjoy the original story of Merlin and Arthur so much as a kid, to now find all of the adaptations of the legendary story with added little twists that you otherwise never would have even come up with. Morgan was dealt a horrible hand in her childhood. To be next in line to the throne and then cast away all because her bloodline contained fae blood is a cruel fact. but I have enjoyed watching/reading her grow into the powerful being that she is by the end of this book. Morgan also made incredible friends along the way and they stick with her right until the end with her battle to bring her real father's horrible reign to an end.

In this final book, Morgan seemed to know more and more answers to things that we were left completely in the dark about. Just all of a sudden she had these memories coming back and knew who people were and where entrances were to the secret castle, etc... Having these explained as to how she knew would have been beneficial to the story, but it isn't even attempted. There is however lots of action, and she learns how to control more of her powers, which makes the fighting all the more intense. It is an action packed novel that kept me on the edge of my seat!! There were also two other portions of this book that had my emotions so out of wack... Medra, how and why did she grow so fast? and she ended up having so many problems at the castle due to her being different... That was a rollercoaster every time the chapter changed to her POV. Then there is the self-sacrifice of Nightclaw... that good boy deserved so much more.. This whole scene made me cry. It was written so well that you were witnessing it happening, he fought so hard to protect her even when she told him not to... I don't know how she had the strength to go on..

I will say that there are some things that I was not to happy to have read in this final book.. but I also understand that the author might not have had anything else for that character.. What happened to Rychel was totally unexpected and random. I think her character deserves a little side story so that we can see what she went through and what happened to her.

There are unanswered or unresolved issues at the end of the book still.. the undead children wasn't resolved and we don't know if Draven and his people will still struggle to have children or are both curses broken with the items of three being destroyed? Will al of these be answered in the spin off series coming in November...? This is the juicy little tidbit I mentioned at the beginning... There is another series coming that will have characters from this world in it, but we barely have any information on who it is about right now.. I know who I hope it is..

What a way to end a series. I wanted to cry many times while reading this book, it was so good and there were lots of tough moments. I loved getting to see where everyone ended up at the end of the series and how everything tied in together, but I am a little upset with some of our losses. Okay, maybe not a little upset, maybe very upset. But this book was seriously so good.

We got the full run down on Morgan’s family line and what was up with her powers- and how Draven unexpectedly has a pretty important role in this mix! I wasn’t really expecting this plot twist, but I really did enjoy it. I also think that the major plot twist in this book was done very well, it was definitely hinted at but was also not super obvious throughout the series (at least to me) and I was really here for it.

This book kept me on my toes the entire time, I was trying to come up with solutions to every problem that arose in a way that would mean everybody got the HEA that I expected, but that was not what happened. Every time something bad would happen I would be like “well no, obviously whatever this is isn’t going to actually happen, maybe somebody will save them or some new power will save them”- and then they did not get saved and I was left to sit there going “wtf just happened?” while reminding myself it’s just a book it can’t hurt me (lies, it can and did hurt me.) But I swear it was in a good way! I really did enjoy reading this book! I would say it is the most intense book out of the series, so be warned. Even being intense, I will probably end up rereading this at some point.

Overall, go get this book! And if you haven’t read the other three, go read those first! And then come back and read this one. :) ♥

Thank you for the ARC.

"Knight of the Goddess" by B. Boleyn marks the thrilling conclusion to the Blood of a Fae Series, a saga that has captivated readers since its inception. This is the fourth and final installment.

Having weathered countless trials and tribulations, Morgan and her allies find themselves momentarily catching their breath before another storm looms ominously on the horizon. With a narrative that unfolds at breakneck speed, this book proves to be utterly unputdownable, drawing readers deeper into its spellbinding world with each turn of the page.

In the wake of the recent conflict that has ravaged the realms, Camelot enjoys a fleeting moment of peace. However, this respite is short-lived as a malevolent force, lying dormant for centuries, begins to stir, threatening to engulf the land in darkness once more. As chaos descends, Morgan and Draven are thrust into a desperate race against time, leaving their newfound family in the hands of trusted allies as they embark on a perilous quest.

Their mission: was to locate and destroy three ancient artifacts of unimaginable power—the grail, the sword, and the spear. Along the way, they will uncover long-buried secrets and confront truths so devastating they could shatter the very fabric of reality.

As the tide of war sweeps them across kingdoms and into the heart of danger, Morgan and Draven must summon every ounce of courage and resilience they possess if they are to emerge victorious. With the fate of the realm hanging in the balance, the stakes have never been higher, and the outcome of their quest will determine the future of all who dwell within these hallowed lands.

"Knight of the Goddess" was a fitting finale to an epic saga, delivering the perfect blend of action, intrigue, and heart-stopping drama that fans have come to expect. It is a series I would re-read for sure.

This series and this book is my absolute favourite so far! It drew me in quickly. I jumped in to this book straight after reading book 3 and couldn’t put it down.

So sad that this series has come to an end! I just want to read more about this world.

My problem now is shat do I read after this epic series. I live Draven and Morgan and their story.

Absolutely recommended this series.

I enjoyed this book. It took me a while to get into it as I knew it would be the last one, not that I didn’t like it. I just didn’t want the story to end so kept putting it off to read!

The ending is a Majour twist and was unexpected! I love Draven and Morgan and how they handle the situations they go through. How they are so united.

There are some devastating pieces to this book and it had me tears a few times. Some shocking revelations and also some heartfelt beautiful moments.
I loved this series!

Wow. What a great conclusion to this series. I’ve loved Morgan and Draven’s story from when they started as enemies until this bittersweet ending when they are so completely bound to each other.

The way the whole story and all the pieces came together was epic and really well written, so seamless that the whole story just flowed.

I will miss them as well as so many of the side characters I’ve come to love.

For those who love fantasy romance, this is a class example of a well told tale with everything you could wan.

This was a solid series that I really enjoyed reading.

For this particular installment, I found more plot points than normal to be predictable and missed some of the actual conflict once Morgan faced her evil father--especially after so much build up. Again, though, the entire cast of characters were just so likeable and nuanced that I loved getting to see them in more complex emotional states.

In that same vein, the inevitable deaths were coming (2 I predicted) and while they hurt, the set up for them made sense, which made them more palatable. The entire story was quick paced and fun to read. The heavy handed lessons at the end seemed to be laid on a bit too thick, but didn't detract from the totality of the work.

Overall: 4 stars (I really liked it)

I'll tell my students about: language, sex (SPICY), LGBT+, parental death, violence/gore/murder, supernatural, trauma, physical abuse

Loved reading the captivating and mesmerizing story. When Morgan, Draven, and their friends come to the aid of another kingdom, they discover that Morgan's evil fae father is behind it all and wants to rule all of the kingdoms. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting story. Can't wait to read another story by the phenomenal author, Briar Boleyn!

"Knight of the Goddess" by Briar Boleyn is a captivating fantasy novel that blends action, romance, and intrigue seamlessly. With its compelling characters, vivid world-building, and fast-paced plot, this book is a must-read for fans of the genre. Boleyn's storytelling prowess shines through in this exhilarating tale of adventure and love.

I am so sad to think that this is the last book of Draven and Morgan's story but I'm also so happy that I was able to be a part of this magical ride! This book really wrapped up the story so beautifully and tied a nice bow around this story and all its characters.

King Arthur legends have always held a special place in my heart and this book weaselled its way in and made itself right at home and I couldn't be happier about that. Briar did a beautiful job giving the characters such a beautiful finale and one I'll be thinking about for a while. The book was action packed, had romance, really completed the entire story so perfectly!

What a bittersweet moment.

I have honestly just been sitting in a stupor for the past few days since finishing this book. THIS SERIES - oh, this wonderful, magical, spicy, fantastical, heartbreaking series. It is truly so well crafted - from the character development, to the spice, to the PLOT TWISTS - Briar Boleyn, you have outdone yourself. This is absolutely my favourite Arthurian retelling and one of my favourite romantasy series.

This series just kept getting better and better - I loved watching the relationship between Morgan and Draven develop, and I did not expect all of those revelations! I sighed, giggled, cried, gasped, and felt all the feels while reading Knight of the Goddess. I will admit that it felt as if my heart kept getting ripped out one chapter after another from the 70%-90% marks of the book (with some spice sprinkled in to ease the pain). Despite the heartbreak, the ending was EPIC and all the buildup of the different subplots came together really well.

I am truly going to miss all of these amazing characters and the thoroughly developed world building and plot development. Gwen, Lancelet, Hawl, Gawain, Morgan and Draven will all have a special spot in my heart (especially Draven - my new MGBB (morally grey book boyfriend).

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Victory Editing and Briar Boleyn for providing me with an ARC of Knight of the Goddess in exchange for an honest review.

First of all, thank you to Net Galley, Victory Editing and Briar Boleyn for access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

I ate this book up. Seriously had trouble pacing myself so I didn’t finish it all in one sitting. Things moved quickly and there were curveballs I didn’t see coming.

Morgan is just as brave but not as harsh as some of the FMC’s that I have read recently. I loved the main relationship and enjoyed all the side characters. By book four, you really know who they are.

Nightclaw destroyed me in a way that I haven’t felt since Harry Potter. I’m trying to avoid spoilers so I’ll leave it at that.

I ended up really loving this whole series and am going to figure out where to order physical copies.

I t was so bittersweet to say goodbye to this series, as I have absolutely loved it. This spin on the Camelot story sucked me in right away. Knight of the Goddess tied up so many loose ends as well as surprising me throughout. Definitely recommend

I received eARC for my honest opinion.

This is the fourth and final installment of Blood of a Fae series and wow did Briar knock it out with this book. I am so happy with the ending of this book but at the same time I didn’t want to finish this book because I knew that would mean Morgan and Draven story was at its end. However, with that said I was able to finish this book in 2 days, I couldn’t find myself able to keep it down for very long. I will be recommending this author and this series to anyone who is interested in fantasy romance.

I don’t really know where to start because I feel like I will give away parts of the book and I don’t want to. So instead, in this book you will have action, drama, hard choices, death, happiness, romance, great pace, and amazing world building. Opps, I almost forgot… also some amazing characters, that you will come to love as I have.

This book has some amazing world building, the plot is fun and exciting with new twists and turns in the plot. I loved that it kept me on my toes throughout the book, just when I thought I figured out something, something new would happen and I would be so shocked that I couldn’t put the book down. I loved that with this book you really do get a feeling of everything all wrapped up in their story and with nothing left unsaid. I found with Briar writing you will be swept away into the world that she is painting for you, and you will be able to feel the characters emotions, you will be right there with them fighting, with them through the hard times and with them through the amazing wins. You will find magic, mythical creatures, betrayal, and some great steamy scenes.


I loved that you have multiple POVs throughout the book and it’s not hard to know who’s POV it is now because she has it clearly marked at the start of each chapter. I loved that you got to see what they were thinking about the issues that they faced and how they would be feeling the same way as another character or why they were feeling different. It really helped the reads connect to the characters and the events that happened.

All I will say now is that it is one of my favorite series this year and last year that I have read, and it will hold a special place in my heart. I am also so excited to read the next book that Briar is writing and the sneak peak of On Wings of Blood. I can’t wait to read this book now.

I want to thank NetGalley and Starwater Press for the opportunity to review this book.

Sad to be done with the journey of Morgan and Draven. This book had several twists I definitely didn't see coming! I enjoyed the rest of Morgan and Draven's tale. I enjoyed following the journey as they make there way to confront Morgan's father. The travel portion of the journey is a bit slow but I enjoyed the pace. It definitely speeds up once you pass halfway and they are close to the mountain. Definitely had some tears for this one so be prepared. Overall the series as a whole was great and highly suggest it.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book, I love the Blood of a Fae series!

I really don’t want this series to end! While Knight wraps up the story nicely, there is so much more to tell. Briar continues to hurt my feelings in the best of ways. The chapters with Medra were SO good, I was not expecting a POV from her at all but it was great how she was so integral to the story and it was written in a way that gave her an arc in one book - very clever. I also love how her friends have their own character developments - for the most part, no one is there to simply advance Morgan and Draven, which I appreciated.

The pace kept me anticipating and on my toes. You couldn’t get too comfortable but there were enough light hearted parts to keep you smiling through the heartbreak, and isn’t that what life is all about? A gem of a fantasy series.
