London, 2023 Guinevere “Gwen” Ramos is starting her life over. After her mom passes away she accepts a job as an art broker at a private gallery in London and moves from the states. She loves her new life, but can’t shake the desire for something more.
So, when a bad tinder date to the King Arthur exhibit at the British Museum ends with her being transported back in time to a land believed to be myth, Gwen is suddenly surrounded by alphas that are nothing like the men of her time.
Now Merlin, a wizard believed to be fictional, is telling her that she is the Guinevere from the stories and it is her fate to bring packs to the British Isles, starting with King Arthur and the knights of his round table.
Wales, Late 5th Century Arthur Pendragon has spent his life fighting for his throne. Now, a relative peace has settled over Camelot and he is looking for an omega queen to rule by his side.
The only issue? His closest friend and confidant, Merlin, prophecies that not only will he welcome an omega, but that he will share her with his closest Gawain, Bedivere, and his most trusted Lancelot, Arthur can hardly believe him.
But when he holds his sword, Excalibur, up during a ceremony and a beautiful omega falls from the sky… Arthur knows that he’s just set off a chain of events that will change the fate of his kingdom forever.
Sweet why choose OMV retelling of King Arthur. I've had my eye on this series for a while and actually meant to start the first book, but Kindle recommended this one to me when I was between books and I decided to start it. It was fun! I loved the feeling of doom that was present, knowing how the story ended in this interpretation, and waiting to see how the author would handle it. There were some changes made to fit an OMV that were cool to see.
My main reasons for my rating are that we don't see much of the relationship development on page, and we especially don't see much of their relationship once they're together. We do see some of it, but I would have liked to see more, especially for how long this book is.
!! Slight spoilers
The ending was cute, and I love that the author brought all of the packs together. I need to go read their books when I'm in the mood for more time travel. I'm wondering what happened to the 4th omega though. Will there be another book?
---
This didn't have an effect on my rating, but I was annoyed that the author described the FMC so many times as having brown skin (not tan, but specifically brown or a "light shade of brown"), but her areola were still pink............major side eye.
Oh wow. I have never read something like this book. I have to be honest and say that the one genre that I do not read is historical fiction. But that’s not what this is. First, this is a time travel story, which I can definitely get behind. Second, it is a new take on the King Arthur story. Ever since I was a kid and watched The Sword in the Stone, I have always been fascinated by the Arthur story. And lastly, it is an omegaverse, and that always makes everything better. The concept was so interesting, the fact that Arthur and some of his knights were a pack and Guinevere was their omega, an omega from a different time. I was absolutely hooked from the start. I didn’t realize that this was the third book in the series and now I need to go back and read the others because this was such a good book. It was one that I would walk around reading because I couldn’t put it down. The way the author wrote these characters and the way that she created this universe, it just had me and didn’t let go until the end.
Gwen was so much fun as the time traveling omega. I love the thought of a sassy, opinionated woman from present time is thrown back to a time of kings and queens. When she first encounters Arthur and everyone is flabbergasted that she says exactly what she thinks to the king’s face, I couldn’t help but laugh. And I 100% agree with her that the first thing I would think of after getting sent back in the past is that there is no indoor plumbing. I thought that it was perfect to have Arthur and his three knights as alphas in a pack together. Like any good omegaverse, they each brought something different to the table. Arthur was the strong dominant alpha. Lancelot was the brooding but fiercely loyal alpha. Gawain was the young alpha that was totally there for his omega. And Bedivere was the older, calmer, wiser alpha. The each made for a fantastic pack.
I really enjoyed reading this story. It was something so unique and entertaining that it grabbed my attention. There was spice like any omegaverse, and I absolutely fell in love with this pack. It was such a fun story and even though it is a little longer, it flowed so nicely. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who likes OVs.
This book had no right to be this perfect. Considering all the different elements and genres it combines, it shouldn't work this well...but it is flawless. This time-traveling, fantasy, Camelot omegaverse romance is everything you didn't know you needed. Personally, I love everything Calliope Stewart puts out, but this one just takes the cake. She created a love story that is literally timeless.
The world building is insane. A full world is created in both modern and Arthurian London. The details surrounding King Arthur, his knights, and Camelot as a whole well surpass any expectations I could have possible had. The battle scenes were drawn out beautifully and the anticipation was perfect. The way that the past and future connected as damn near flawless and created such an exciting world.
On the romance side of things, each relationship and MMC were totally unique and served a purpose. They each had their own personalities and internal conflicts that just melded perfectly to not only the FMC, but the story as a whole. I can't even pick a favorite, and can I just say how awesome that is?
Now, as in most books but especially in OV/RH ones, the FMC can make or break everything. Luckily, Calliope is a genius and created the perfectly imperfect Gwen. She has depth! She is smart, strong willed, forgiving, and a lover at heart. I truly enjoyed her not even attempting to act like anything else other than a modern, independent women. I mean she tells King Arthur upon first meeting to "suck a dick." Like come on, a woman after my own heart. It was amazing how she was simultaneously willing to roll with the punches while also firmly telling fate to kiss her ass.
Merlins addition in this book was so exciting. I was hoping we would see more of him after the first two books, and what a stellar story he had.
My only, repeat ONLY, complaint with this book is that it is the last one in the series. I mean, it is probably pretty obvious by this point that I adore the Omegas Through Time series and would read a dozen more. However, the lack of the 4th omegas story is really throwing me. She is kind of just thrown away. Which, yes it is somewhat addressed in the book, however I assumed we might still get her story just without Merlins interference. As the number four is continuously mentioned, I can't help but feel like begging to get just oneeeeee moreeeeeee. Pleaseeeeeee.
I know the OV element might turn away some readers from even giving this story a chance, so here is my pitch to you. Freaking read it.
You should read this book if you answer yes to ANY of the following questions: Do you enjoy fantasy romance? How about Outlander? Does the story of King Arthur and the knights of the round table interest you? Do you enjoy reading good things? How about multiple men who are all devoted to one woman? Do you prefer your FMC's well written?
Genre: Adult Omegaverse Spice: 2/5🌶️ *spice ratings are relative to similar books in the same genre*
The Catalog: MFMMMM, time travel, magic, Arthurian retelling, only one horse, forced proximity, found family, surprise heat, Gods & fate, build a pack * reverse harem style pack, with no intra-pack relationships aside from those with the omega
My Blurb: Merlin has been working to appease the God’s threads of fate but is now facing is greatest challenge, find *the* Guinevere and bring her to Camelot so that she might join her fated mates and form the first ever pack. Unfortunately, the games Gods play are never fair and their future is completely uncertain — but they will do what they can do love each other.
Thoughts: First, the good: I love Arthurian retelling and I think the author did an amazing job of adapting the mythology and adding in omegaverse dynamics! It was very fun! In addition, the ending was both incredible and completely unexpected and I’m glad that I read through to the end.
Next, the iffy: I almost DNFed at 51% because I was having a hard time sticking it through when the relationships were developing so slowly. Additionally, there were far more typos, grammar issues, and continuity issues than I was expecting (for example, Gawain’s hair changes colors in the first third). Lastly, some of the alphas were far more developed than the others and that’s always unfortunate.
I am glad that I didn’t DNF, because the end completely shocked me, but I will say that some parts of this were very slow while others seemed to not have enough development. I will still recommend this book, as I feel overall it was enjoyable — just not my fav.
A New Story That Takes Camelot To A Whole New Level Of Awesome ✨
OMG!!!!!!!! This book was so very worth the wait y’all! While I absolutely LOVED the other 2 books in the series, I do believe this one may have been my favorite 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Maybe because I’be always been fascinated by Camelot, the nights of the round table, and just everything about that whole story. When you add in a bada$$ FMC like Gwen, from the future no less, and make it a whychoose….🤯🤯🤯 This book was absolute perfection and a fantastic way to end the series (even if I don’t want to see it end 😭). I loved that this time we got to see our main female character go back in time to where the men were instead of going forward to the future. This has been one of the most unique series that I’ve ever read, and I can’t stress enough how quickly you should grab this series and devour it. If you enjoy why choose mixed with a little magic, a bit of time travel, lots of action and adventure, plenty of spice & romance, and a cast of diverse characters that will make you fall in love with them…then you will absolutely love this story (as well as the two before it). You’ll never look at Camelot, Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere, or the knights of the round table the same again 😍 Run, do not walk, and grab this story as quick as you can….you will not regret reading it ❤️❤️❤️
I have been waiting for this book for what feels like forever. I loved reading stories about King Arthur and his knights. I desperately wanted the omegaverse version.
Merlin has searched for the omega out of time destined to change everything: Guinevere. Finally, he's found her, and she's pulled from present day to a mythical past. King Arthur and his legendary knights are real, as is Camelot. Now she must bring together a pack when they're unheard of. She knows the myths and knows how it all ends. After meeting her alphas she knows she can't stand back and do nothing. She'll try to change the future to get that HEA.
You guys!!!!! I did a little happy dance as soon as I got my hands on this book! I've always been of the opinion that a lot of the drama around Arthur, Gwen, and Lancelot could've been avoided if she could've chosen both. Add in 2 more alphas and 1 surprising addition, and she's got the pack she was destined to create. Arthur was immediately drawn to her, and their relationship developed pretty quickly. The rest take a little time. They're going against the norm of 1 alpha to 1 omega. Not only that, but that's their queen. Things get dangerous, and I felt like my heart dropped. Rest assured, there is a HEA. The epilogues!!!! Loved them!
The time has finally come for our final time hoping Omega.
Honestly I'm excited to read more of Merlin being the absolute Shithead he is in the first two books 😂 the man exists on vibes (the gods whispering in his ear) alone and I can respect that. But surprised it was so much more.
The Omegas through time series is such a unique concept in and of it's self but the formation of this pack and the fact that it's a spin on a legend that we grow up hearing or watching (shout out 'Quest for Camelot') was the cherry on top. Gwen, Arthur, Bedivere, Gawain, Lancelot and Merlin as characters bring a breath of fresh are to the trope and seeing them come together naturally is 😍
I had so much fun reading this and picture the clothing and environments and also Gwen just speaking like her 21st century self and confusing the men to no end 😂
If you love Omegaverse and twists on old stories than this is perfect for you. Any only the OTT series is. Calliope Stewart knows how to write an omegaverse and for that I am immensely thankful.
When it comes to time travel, people are trying to find all the possible flaws in the system.
If there's one thing Gwen Ramos hates about being called Gwen Ramos, it's where her name comes from: she's always compared to Guinevere of Camelot. And then fate has its way with her, taking her back to the time of King Arthur's life.
What she never expected, beyond this karmic slap in the face, is that she would have to obey the order of the gods in order to save not only Logres, but the future of her subjects as well!
And what better way to do that than to submit yourself as an Omega to every Alpha present, as a loyal warriors of Arthur?
I honestly had no expectations: I read "Time travel, omegaverse and spicy: I'm certainly not backing down!" I really enjoyed the subplot, the more bursty characters of the legend, and a few more extras: seeing how certain events, for better or worse, mark you as a person from that moment on, not just by your scars🔥
And no, I wasn't expecting the ending at all, after all the chaos that just happened! It was a masterstroke, no doubt🤣 But I did appreciate how through time and space - and a little bit of magic - our pack sticks together through it all🤭
This piece is beautifully crafted, evoking a distinct sense of nostalgia while presenting a fresh interpretation of the King Arthur legend. From the very first page, I found myself completely immersed in the narrative.
I particularly adored Gwen, whose fiery spirit and compassionate nature truly stand out. Her dynamic personality not only adds depth to her character but also brings a delightful energy to her interactions with Arthur. Their playful banter is not only amusing but also serves to highlight their growing connection in a charming and relatable way.
The way each character interacts with one another, combined with the gradual development of their relationships, lends a more authentic feel to the story. It effectively captures the essence of a pack forming for the first time, showing the vulnerable emotions that could go hand in hand with this.
This has everything an omegaverse should have, packs, protective Alphas, heats and knots. It's a slow burn, with low angst, and thankfully more bathing than the history books suggest that happened back then.
This is not your typical history/time period piece. This is an Omegaverse that is set both in present day AND in the past.
Gwen is set in her day to day life but isn’t satisfied with it. She is abruptly pulled out of her time and literally dropped into the past with Merlin, Arthur and his gang. Gwen has to learn to adapt to her new life and accept the outcome that only she knows is coming. Gwen is fierce, stubborn, and loyal and refuses to back down from a fight.
Arthur, Lancelot, Bedivere, and Gawain are supposed to form the first pack ever but learning to adapt is not an easy task. They each have their own struggles they must get through and they slowly find that going through them WITH Gwen is easier than suffering alone.
This book, for me, definitely turned into “just 1 more chapter”.
There’s something about Calliope’s writing that I love. This beauty is probably one of my favorite’s I’ve read this year! I mean time-traveling! This book has a unique concept that I enjoyed so much. The more I read the more I was excited to continue. The plot and characters are written so well in depth that I was intrigued from the start.
And the thing that excited me the most about this book is the way the FMC traveled back in time rather than forward in time. I loved reading how the characters came together and learned to love. I liked how the relationships grew and connections were formed. It had me swooning.
Overall, I throughly enjoyed this book! I highly recommend if you love omegaverse. This book is so unique and I can’t wait to read more by Calliope!
Arthurian Omegaverse Perfection I’ve always loved Arthurian re-tellings and this one has shot straight to the top of my list. I’ve always hated that Guinevere had to choose between Arthur and Lancelot in the legend and this re-telling healed a part of my heart that always broke when that happened. And then it broke my heart all over again before Ms Stewart put it back together. All I can say is trust the process. I absolutely loved Gwen! She was fierce and vulnerable and funny and the men were just so amazing. I would love to say more, but I think everyone should go in as blind as possible given how much is know about this story already. There was some wonderful surprises when it came to the men and their character development. Absolutely loved this book and this series I general. Is this really the end? I hope not.
Gwen slayed me! This is an incredibly original twist on a King Arthur tail with a delicious OV addition. I adored Gwen being such a strong and independent character. Her emotional wounds where beautifully written and complimented by those of her pack!
The Round Table Pack was just *swoon*. I couldn't get enough of the alphas and Merlin! Arthur was the king, the constant leader while also being so sweet to Gwen. Lancelot was brooding but found the perfect time to pull his head out of his butt. Gawain was a personal favorite, I adore a softer alpha who is gone for his omega. Bedivere was so strong in a quiet way and always there for her. Merlin was this amazing foil to everything Gwen was and even he didn't realize it until she made him.
This story was such a joy and ended this series in an amazing way.
This is the third book in the Omegas Through Time trilogy. This is also my first time reading a book by Calliope Stewart. I have always been fascinated by the Arthurian Legends so I was excited to read this book. I am not really into reading time traveling books, they normally don’t hold my interest. I decided to check this book out because of the Camelot Mythology. This book had such a hold on me! I loved it and was so happy that I chose this book! I love that the King Arthur legend was turned into a reverse harem book. This story had me crying at the end. Thank you, Calliope Stewart for such an amazing read! It was definitely a pleasure to read this book and I cannot wait to read the first two books in this series. I also plan on checking out your other books for my TBR list as well!
This series has been one that's lived rent free in my head since Juneau, and will always have a place in my heart. Gwen is a good conclusion(?) to the series as a whole, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
It's different than the other two books in this series, because the lady is the one sucked through time to be with her pack, and she brings some pizazz into king Arthur's court in the best way. She's headstrong and funny and unafraid of her own wants and needs, and her pack is just along for the ride.
The magical mystical bits of this story definitely keep you guessing, and even though we all know the story of King Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table, the author has twisted it in a whole new way.
I received this book as an ARC. I hadn’t read this series previously and I’m a sucker for Arthurian legend. This story was both sweet and a fun take on the story. The Alphas were stubborn and there were times when I wondered if one book would be long enough for them to come together as a pack, but in the end it all happened. The reason for fate, the rescuing of Henry, was both intriguing but also sort of a let down. It made the sacrifices that were so grand seem so minor. Begs the question, why do they have to suffer for something seemingly insignificant? I think that’s what made me go from liking the story to loving it. I enjoy the thought provoking stuff. Truly enjoyed it! Would recommend.

An omegaverse book with time travel and a King Arthur retelling. ALREADY OBSESSED. This series is everything to me 😫 my heart kind of broke when the author announced the series being complete which means this is the last book of the series 😭 and I thought Juneau's story was my favorite in the series but Gwen said NOPE 😊.
Anyways, this story made me laugh, made me fall in love, break me into pieces and put me back again with the ending. With her different relationships to her pack members, there were enemies to lovers, slow burn, friends to lovers, marriage of convenience which I really love. It made their pack connection genuine and strong as it wasn't forced or rushed. I was just sad that this story and series was over so soon 😭
This book is everything I hoped for for he end of this series. It was full of romance between Gwen and her alphas and surprisingly Merlin. From the future seeing that Guinevere stood on the hill and caused floods, that felt wrong knowing what we do about Gwen. But as each alphas bonds pulled taut and died, I was really confused about what would happen. Then he hods talked to her and it clicked. There would be a version of them in the future same as her mom with Gwen as the connection between the two times. It was genius writing and kept me guessing for a lot of the book. I was so glad to see Merlin and all the omegas he saved (including his own) in the future with all their kids and the families they made together.

I am so sad this is the final book in the Omegas Through time series. Each one of her books gets better and better. Gwen is a book you want to read in one sitting. I really couldn't put it down. It's a re-telling of the Arthurian legend with Gwen being pulled through time to become Arthur's wife. There is something so enjoyable about Calliope's writing style that just pulls you in. All the characters are great and even the villains are well written. Calliope stays true to the time period and there is a great twist at the end. if you like Omegaverse with time travel as a bonus, you have got to read this book!
Maybe I’m a bit ignorant, but why didn’t Bedivere just.. use his other hand to wield his sword? Sure, it may have taken some time to learn, but wouldn’t that have been better than being miserable because you can no longer be the knight you’ve always wanted to be? Also, the ending didn’t feel as satisfying as I would have liked. I wish we had gotten to see a bit more of the pack after everything was resolved. Outside of those two complaints, though? Chef’s kiss of a book. I loved everything. The mystery, the romance, the magic, the sprinkle of politics and historic elements that were present but not over-the-top and in your face. All of it is perfection in written words.
I’ve had this is on my Kindle for months! I’m so happy I finally read this, and I love how niche it is. Is it regency? No. Is it historical fiction? No? Kinda? Enough for me. Does adding the OV element solidify my interest? Absolutely. Now I haven’t read the previous two books, but I’m currently downloading them because I loved this author’s writing. She didn’t make the FMC overly “bratty” or insufferable and the relationships between each person/couple felt genuine. The plot didn’t drag or feel like a secondary component of the book, as can sometimes happen with OV. It was enticing, thrilling and overall fun.
Oh man where do I start?! I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Not gonna lie I’m not big on King Arthur lore but the blurb was so interesting I knew I had to give it a read. Can I say how glad I am that I did?! I was blown away by how pulled in I was. Kept on the edge of my seat, I devoured this book to find out what comes next. I love how even in the past Gwen was so unapologetically herself. If you’re reading reviews trying to decide to read this book or not, I urge you to give it a read. I hope you fall in love with the characters as I have.
I think this whole series is probably in my top 3 favorites. When I found out that there was going to be a third book after reading the first two, I immediately added it to my book list and have been checking and checking to see when it would come out. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book and I loved it!!! I love the concept of time traveling with omegaverse, and this one was sooo good because it incorporated different aspects of King Arthur and his knights, as well as finally getting to see more of Merlin! I absolutely loved this book and this whole series!
King Arthur and his entire round table= sign me up!! If you’re reading for vibes and a fun time with some spicy time action, this book was so good!
I would honestly love an entire sequel about the future, so please Calliope, please!
This was reimagined King Arthur with alphas that aren’t used to sharing and a lot of twists on the classic story. I was on the edge of my seat even though I knew the story and loosely had an idea what to expect. It was a great time!
Loved it!! I loved Gwen's book! The plot was fun, captivating, and original! The whole concept of going back in time and also being an omegaverse, so good! There was drama, action, humor, spice, and some edge of your seat moments. I loved Gwen and all of her pack. My favorite parts were seeing them all change, grow, and come together.
This was my first book by Calliope and I truly enjoyed it! Now I plan to read more of her work!
I loved this take on King Arthur and his knights. I loved how Gwen was so against the fate set before her and, even with the advance knowledge of what happens to her pack, she was still able to carve out a different future for her men.
I also loved that Merlin even got a happy ending. He was given the chance to find a real purpose instead of being a middleman for the gods.
I'm sad this series is over but I love how the story came together ❤️
I can't decide if this one or Juneau is my favorite. It's between the two. I didn't care for Eleanor as a FMC. I didn't really like her until at least 50% in.
Loses .5 for a couple of grammar errors and because I was little confused about the fourth thread.
The series finale for the time traveling omegas! I’ll be the first to admit I was a little nervous about going backwards this time instead of bringing someone to the present. Plus, I’ve never read a Camelot retelling. But I think it all worked really well! I was obsessed and couldn’t put it down! I love Stewart’s writing, and I cannot wait to read more of Stewart’s books. Plus, it was just a really unique omegaverse.
I’m in a weird mood, like I want to read but nothing sounds good so I thought I’d try something different and what could be more different than historical, time travelling omegaverse. But this just isn’t keeping my attention so DNF for now, I might try again in future idk.
I wish the reviews would spoil the whole book too tbh, I know I’d enjoy it more if I knew what was going to happen
