The Holy Grail. An all powerful relic with the ability to heal any wound and grant immortall life. Lost to time and legend… Except Morgana knows where it is.
When Morgwese accepts, Merle and her knights must descend into Otherworld, a faery realm fraught with danger at every turn. Guarded by the Fisher King, Merle must convince him to allow the knights through the gates with a find the Grail and heal his legendary wound.
But as the knights begin to unravel Merlin’s prophecy and learn more about Lore’s curse from the Priestesses of Sein, they realise that while their own plan may be cunning, Morgwese might have outsmarted them still. On the brink of war and in the shadow of the Black Dragon, can the Templar save Lila before it’s too late?

I’m sorry if this comes across harsh 🥲
This was my third try with this author. But I would have thought 3 books into the series the writing would have gotten better through reading this book in particular I noticed 3 major story plot holes as well as publishing mistakes (in one chapter Shelby was references under a totally different name other than morgwese) in the book. No hate to the writer she did a great job I just thought by the third book I’d have had answers to some of my questions. I enjoyed the storyline of the book I just felt it hard to read and it just felt like it was going on forever I just avoided finishing it but Im the type that can’t just leave a book half read. I was hoping this was just gonna be a three book trilogy series but I fear there is a fourth book in the works and I will be inclined to buy it as I’ve already invested 9 months to read all three books and I need to know where the author is taking this story that just feels so good but boring at the same time. I hated that some parts were so good I couldn’t put it down and then I’d get hit by 5 pages of just nothing and find it hard to get into.

Gabby got me like what!? I really thought this was the final book of the series. But noooo!!! lol! Now I have to wait to see how the next journey on folds. Gabby did a remarkable job with all three books of the series. The magic is there, the adventures, challenges, the secrets, the mysteries but overall the growth of each character is wonderful. I have grown to love every single one of them. I feel like the villain should be more wicked in my opinion. I feel like the prophecy has them more rattled than the villain itself. But I love the story and can’t wait for book four.

This is one of my favorite series. This one did not disappoint In this one a deal with an evil faery queen leads to a quest for the Holy Grail. I enjoyed every second of this story. It's full of twists and secrets and treachery. I love the world building and the characters are great. If you love Arthurian legends then you will love this. It's appropriate for all ages. But fair warning, it does end on a cliffhanger.

Oh my god.
I actually cannot stop thinking about this book, I have been not very patiently waiting for Otherworld for a while and I can say with 100% honestly that it is well worth the wait.
It was like a family reunion, seeing all of my favourite characters again. Gab you have smashed it again, the world building is just ✨✨

This series is getting better with each Book.
Merle and her friends, need to find the Holy Grail and risk their lives to do so. At the same time, others are finding the answer to the Riddle.
Thank you again for letting me ARC read, can't wait for book 4.

I enjoyed reading the third book in the Merlin's Heir series - Otherworld. Gabby is a great writer. Hope there is more coming in the series and future books written by her.

This story continues to draw me in as it gets deeper and deeper into Arthurian lore. Such a great take on the story! Can't wait to see what happens next.
