Synopsis

A fated white faerie. A dark war for power. An otherworldly relic that can raise the dead.

Anger and disappointment burn within Fionna Allán following the Grail Quest. Her family still remain captives of a rival clann, and King Arthur Pendragon's kingdom continues to wither and die.

Now Fionna's sworn enemy brings war to Arthur’s shores with Morgan la Fay at his side—a battle Arthur and Caerleon can ill afford. Especially as one of Arthur’s knights has gone rogue, leaving their group weak and devastated. With his kingship in question and his people suffering to the point of rebellion, Arthur and his knights are forced to seek help from the gods. But none are prepared for the secrets the faeries reveal.

A Gwenevere. An enchantress, born of legends past, will rise to protect a Great King. But only if that king proves his worthiness.

Caerleon's brittle future depends on Fionna, Arthur, Lancelot, Galahad, and Percival sacrificing their own. If they are to defeat their enemies—mortal and immortal alike—they must bare their souls and join their hearts. Before war destroys everyone and everything they love.

Contains mature themes.

About Claire Luana

Claire Luana grew up reading everything she could get her hands on and writing every chance she could. Eventually, adulthood won out, and she turned her writing talents to more scholarly pursuits, going to work as a commercial litigation attorney at a mid-sized law firm.

While continuing to practice law, Claire decided to return to her roots and try her hand once again at creative writing. She has written and published the Moonburner Cycle and the Confectioner Chronicles and is currently co-writing the Knights of Caelreon series with Jesikah Sundin. She lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband and two dogs. In her (little) remaining spare time, she loves to hike, travel, binge-watch CW shows, and of course, fall into a good book.

Goodreads review by Athena on July 28, 2019

So I really liked how the story came to a conclusion and didn't leave a ton of loose ends. This final book had a LOT of ground to cover and it did a pretty good job. That said, things moved at a pretty breakneck pace and I wouldn't have minded reading a bit of a longer book for some more of the Caer......more

The exciting climax to The Knights of Caerleon saga, the first Gwenevere delivers in action (in more ways than one) and suspense which had me turning the page.

Aaaah I’ve finished the last book! I flew through this series in a couple of days. I wouldn’t have minded some of the end battles to be more complex, but the story as a whole still felt satisfactory. I’m really glad I gave these books a try. The flow of the story makes perfect sense and makes for an......more

2-2.5 stars here at what seems to be the end of this series. All in all I like the premise, I felt like the author had some really great concepts for the reinvention of this tale, however, I felt like maybe the author had too many ideas floating around maybe and rather than kick out some scenes to f......more
