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?

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.

Skeldon did it again with another magical read that had me on the edge of my seat in wondering what espionage was afoot now. I feel as if I have trust issues just like the main characters at this point ...
With varying POV chapters, we get inside different characters to see how they are coping with what all has happened in the last two novels--are they doing well? No. Are they having flashbacks and suspicious? Yes and yes. Is it wholly realistic? Yes, completely.
What Skeldon does this time around intrigued me because while the usual focus is on the characters and their growth, this novel felt more entuned to the story itself, the magic and its progression towards the "big" fight that has been hanging over the characters for some time. It is coming. Bad things will happen. Characters will break if not worse. But when? Now this isn't to say the characters don't evolve in book three because we do get to see how when faced with different (and difficult) scenarios are characters chose their most authentic reactions vs. something we may as readers expect after everything they went through. The storyline drove me to keep reading along with the beautiful otherwordly depictions.
The fight continues and I await for what happens next.
