Knights of Caliburn University #3
The Red Crown
The final book in the Caliburn University story of Gwenna and her knights.
So much is broken.
But the men who rule the Knights of Caliburn—the ancient order my four protectors answer to—don't know that. The White Brothers of St. Vincent have no idea what their sworn knights have done for me: vows abandoned, blood spilled, a sacred mission twisted beyond recognition.
And time is running out.
Kingston is fracturing under the weight of his choices. Kai's playing a dangerous game with men who never lose. Lanz is fading in ways that terrify me. And Callahan—steady, loyal Callahan—is being tested in ways that could shatter us from the inside.
We can't hide for long. Because something else, something bigger, is holding Caliburn's campus frozen.
And there are older powers stirring. A lady in the lake. A riddle with no easy answer. And a question I've been running from my entire life.
Who do you think you are?
I've spent so long hiding. Apologetic. Trying to just be normal. But when fire and reckoning come to Caliburn, no one else can answer for me.
Not my knights. Not my enemies. Not even God himself.
Only me.
The Red Crown is the breathtaking finale of the Knights of Caliburn University series, a dark academia reverse harem romance featuring hidden magic, impossible choices, and four men who will defy heaven and hell for the woman they love.

I demolished this whole series so quickly because i could not put it down!! What a wonderful and unexpected retelling of this legend
The depth of research that must have gone into this series alone blows my mind but the storytelling and plot of the characters that just flowed so naturally was beautiful
You won’t know where things are headed and i guarantee you need to find out for yourself

Sooo good 🤺⚔️💞
In the last book of the Knights of Caliburn University, we start right where we need to be after book two's cliffhanger. Gwenna and her knights are trying to adjust after the trauma and everyone is coping in their own way while dealing with the stress of figuring out Gwenna's true purpose. I had so much anxiety and emotion throughout because honestly nothing was predictable.
Character and relationship development varies throughout the book Gwenna honestly has become one of my favorite FMCs because that girl is 𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙇. She wasn't given some insane power as her purpose and I actually love that the story didn't swing that way because it actually took me by surprise which doesn't happen often. I love that she struggles with who she thinks she should be due to the voices of others and who she actually is. Because we've all faced listening to social norms and expectations vs what our needs/wants are a time or two and it was just so relatable. Actually, the reactions to situations for most every character were pretty relatable and some of the most real I've read. It made my reactions and emotions so much stronger. I absolutely ate it up!
I was left wanting a bit deeper connection (not spicy time) between the unit as a family. Sometimes it felt a bit too separate for me but it didn't make me have negative feelings. Just made me want more because I'm greedy like that lol I think my brain & heart just needed one little epilogue for full closer haha even a little family vacation to relax after all that would be cute. See? Greedy. Anyways, Jade you did the dang thing and I will highly recommend this series to anyone that will listen. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your ARC team 🖤🤺

Ok so, I've been stalking Jades Instagram waiting for this book since I finished The Ivory Throne and it did not disappoint!
The Red Crown picks up straight after the ending of book two and I'm so glad we got to see Gwenna and her guys in the aftermath of returning home from Russia.
I love that Gwenna is just so unapologetically herself. She owns that her life is messy and chaotic but to see her question who she is was so sad as she'd always been so strong in her beliefs.
The guys choosing Gwenna over everything was just perfection. Showing her that they love her every step.
I think Emrys needs his own book. Especially with Vivian. I need their story please.
Also, I'd love Morgan's story too. She has been such a strong side character throughout this series.
I'm actually so sad this series has ended as it's been one of my favourite reads of 2025.
I would have loved an epilogue with some group activities (I don't mean fencing) but that is just me being greedy 🥵
Thank you to the author for the chance to read this wonderful series 💛

i really struggled with that one. almost dnf. had no want to pick up. it was okay i guess
January 23, 2026
The series started off so good but then ended confusing, sad, and weird! Where was my grand finale
January 12, 2026
Uhhhh what? Was that ending.
I’m not sure what to make of this. Lots of dramatic buildup just for some godly smiting. Gwenna’s relationships with her knights didn’t really evolve at all. They just…have a few more sexy times. No real conversation between anyone other than Gwenna & Morgan. Idk this one kinda let me down.

“He is,” Emrys says after a moment, “ardently in love with you, Ms. Vale.” His bright eyes flick to me. “They all are.”
OK, I do have to admit. I felt like book 3 fell off a little bit for me. It almost felt rushed?
Book 3 is the culmination of what the F is going on with our “Holy Grail”. We get a little bit more into the inside of the mission, how the boys got into it. — The bees. That was freaky. — And we had a little bit more into whatever is going on here with the University and the White Brothers or whoever the heck those guys are.
I like how this book opened with that third point of view chapter of the novice and our [I forgot what he’s called, the guy that sabotaged Kai‘s match in the previous book in the name of ‘self-control’]. I also enjoy Kai‘s responsibility that he gets in this book. It’s an interesting role reversal between our foster brothers— Kingston turns into our rebellious and irresponsible one and Kai is responsible for everything else. Kingston is so distraught by killing HIS FATHER that he can’t process or handle anything other than sleeping with Gwenna. And so as a result, Kai has to step up and take responsibility and he makes unique choices (that maybe he should’ve made like not telling the White Brothers that Luther was dead and that Gwenna is the Grail)
Then we also have our cursed boy, Lanz, whose curse is coming to fruition because he can’t keep to himself. As he’s cursed to fall in love, but die as a result when he falls in love. So he is going through- I feel like withdrawals I don’t know how else to explain it- and he’s in so much pain, but he won’t tell anybody. (Cite: “you look like you have cancer and a tapeworm. The tapeworm also has cancer”) He didn’t tell anybody until he’s dying on the courtyard (?) and that’s when they pieced together that if he loves two, then it’ll break the curse which I thought was really cool. (I kind of had an idea that was gonna happen when we opened the book with Callahan and him sleeping together and then Gwen are coming into the picture Had a feeling it had to be something about the heart splitting into wasn’t just me and heartbreak and also meant that you fall in love with two people was just fine). I wish it was fleshed out a bit more in the other books, it felt very abrupt in this book. Overall, I enjoyed the addition, I actually really enjoyed it. I thought it was an interesting thing to add to the plot. I don’t know if that’s something that comes from the Knights of the round table originally I’m not super familiar with the law and history of that.
Overall I REALLY enjoyed the series. I gave this one four stars because I do feel like it fell off a little bit for me. Elements felt rushed to close all of the plot lines, that I think could’ve been avoided with a little bit more substance in book 2. I also kind of enjoyed that even though it’s a RH and we never have a scene with all four boys. That always freaks me out when all of them are together (because like how does that work logistically?) It’s only ever two of the boys with her at a time and usually one of them is watching. So if you want to dip your toes into RH, this might be a good choice for you!

This is the final conclusion of the series. Book 1 and 2 took us on a journey and I with the cliffhanger we were left on in book 2 I was so excited for this book.
The plot and story has so much potential and being a retelling you just can’t gusss where the book is going to lead. It is a really interesting take on the King Arthur and the knights. I would say there is a lot to the story and it keeps you reading.
Gwenna as a character is confusing but so relatable and I love that about a book she isn’t black or white and she really is portrayed as real. She is relatable, the conflict between what she wants and what she has to do… everyone can relate to that. Also she is a scholar and she uses her brains. It’s nice to see her strength comes from elsewhere than just power.
King, Kai, Cal and Lanz. There is a lot of unpack here. They all have their own trauma to go through in this book. I would say the majority is them working by themselves. Even when they are together it doesn’t feel like they are friends… if not in some cases they barely tolerate each other and they are just there for duty. Which confused me slightly. Though I love each personality… especially Cal. And that being said I do love that they are not just these perfect people. They all are human and make mistakes and it’s a messy real life relationships. Kai also really becomes himself in this book.
However, I did feel like Gwenna relationships never really got any deeper. I was hoping they would finally pull together after book 2 but I felt that they just got pulled even more apart in this one and never really became that family your hoping for. The quest does continue but for some reason the build up to those tense moments you don’t get the connection with all 4 of them together or I didn’t feel it.
Overall I loved the concept and I loved the story. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a retelling but my connection to the characters and them to each other just stopped me from pushing this to a 4 star.

Great conclusion
The conclusion of the Caliburn University trilogy will bring everything together in The Red Throne.
Following directly on from book two, we rejoin our team of modern knights and their lady back at Caliburn University as they try to process all they have been through. With much of the physical danger passed and the status of their quest somewhat up in the air, they have time to reflect on everything and enjoy the start of Spring.
Except Spring seems to have bypassed the university. The knights are breaking under pressure…and the secret order that demands their loyalty is unaware. When the mystical and theological clash, who will stand and who will fall?
This is a very different dark academia series in that it relies heavily on the academia part. Much of the physical action took place in book two, leaving a number questions of belief and identity for the final book. The danger is not so much from an enemy the characters fight - it is in their heads, in the menacing far off authority, and in the very environment they live in.
There is definitely a paranormal aspect to this story and it does a good job of showing how blurred the lines can be between religious beliefs and pagan beliefs. Each character must question their faith and beliefs, and there is some deeper-than-surface level discussion of theology.
Theme wise - there’s significant discussion surrounding the role of women in the early church. Some characters display blatant misogyny. A building is deliberately set on fire and one character has a near death drowning experience.
From a spice POV, this is the book where things heat up the most. It is open door, with the scenes starting very early in the book. It includes a MM romance.
This book cannot be read in isolation. The series overall has been a wonderful read and I’d definitely recommend it for why choose/dark academia fans.

full series review: https://literarystitchsociety.blogspo...
The Red Crown is the final book in the Knights of Caliburn University trilogy, picking up immediately after the events of The Ivory Throne and continuing Gwenna���s journey alongside her knights.
This installment dives much deeper into the characters themselves, allowing the plot to take a brief step back while the story focuses on relationships—both romantic and platonic. The narrative feels like it pauses to breathe, giving us space to truly connect with the characters’ inner lives and their emotional growth.
One of the greatest strengths of this series remains its multi-POV structure. Each character brings something unique and essential to the story; remove even one, and the plot simply wouldn’t work. The pacing is well balanced, moving steadily and inevitably toward the conclusion, with a growing sense of foreboding and doom that becomes heavier with each chapter.
The gothic atmosphere is at its strongest here, while the academia setting, though still present, takes on a more secondary role. There’s also a noticeable increase in spice, seamlessly woven into the narrative and used to explore different facets of the characters and their perspectives on life and intimacy.
At its core, the trilogy’s central theme—self-discovery—takes full center stage in this final book. It’s a journey of self-acceptance and truth, pursued despite expectations, judgment, or what the world tries to impose.
Overall, The Red Crown is a powerful, satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, and a truly great way to wrap up Gwenna and the knights’ story.

This was a whirlwind of an ending to this trilogy. There is love, betrayal and a strong, strong sense of foreboding about what is coming. Gwenna continues to develop but also remains true to herself, Kai and King find common ground because of her, while Lanz’s curse gets worse.
The White brothers of the Consistory continue to be the freakiest group I’ve ever read and trying to keep Gwenna safe from them is never going to be easy. They absolutely gave me the creeps and when one of the masks comes off, it just confirms everything I thought about them.
This was such a different story, in the best way possible, there is a lot of academia in here, but I found it to be fascinating. The ending was shocking and I couldn’t predict which way things were going to go. Beautifully written with strong characters and an atmospheric edge that is so scary.

Why choose
Magic & mystery
Arthurian legend
Historical facts
Spice that’s spicing
Acceptance & understanding
Devine intervention
Culmination of series
Following on from the events in Finland at the end of book 2 with each of the MC’s processing in their own unique way. But, with the Consistory ever lurking & the sudden change to Sarrasford, the urgency to solve this mystery plagues Gwenna & her Knights.
I loved it!! And this whole series!! The way Jade has combine so many elements into one story is admirable! There’s a mythical retelling, magical/paranormal elements, historical & biblical facts woven in, sexual tension & high spice that builds, the enigma of knowing one’s self, BFF banter & a climactic ending that I devoured!! One of my favourite series of 2025. Highly recommended!!

This series lived rent free in my brain since I signed up for the arc of book 1 and I dont plan on kicking it out. This conclusion was so anxiety filled and dramatic that when I finished it, I was happy with it. I wont lie, I would have loved another 100 pages just to see what now and maybe more bonding but I feel like it would ruin the "anything can happen" feeling it left me with if there was more at the end... but maybe a novella would be nice to have them bond even more haha.. I'm so sad this series is done because this group was so consuming and hot. The gang definitely had more bonding time and it was truly, chefs kiss. And the lore! Gah! I love a good religious but in a scholarly way tale and add in a women are power aspect, I ate it up!
Thank you Jade R. Evans for the arc

Wow. This finale put me through it.
The emotions were high from page one. Gwenna especially stood out for me, she feels so real. Messy, unsure, strong in quiet ways, and constantly fighting who she’s been told to be versus who she actually is. That hit hard.
I loved watching how everyone handled the aftermath differently. It felt raw and earned, even when it hurt. The tension, the magic, the choices it all came together in a way that felt big and personal at the same time.
If I’m being greedy, I just wanted a tiny bit more softness at the end a breath, a moment to exist together after all that chaos. But honestly? That’s only because I didn’t want to let these characters go.

This was the perfect way to end the trilogy! I really enjoyed the way this story unraveled, and whilst some of it was expected, it didn’t detract from the overall plot. There’s some great little character developments from all of the MCs and even some great philosophical questions for yourself.
Without going into too much detail (no spoilers here), I will say that I wish the Lanz segment had been a bit longer and a bit more explored, and just generally a bit more in depth but a good plot nonetheless!

I feel like overall, this wasn’t a bad series. But while trying to read this book while flying home, I realized this series really would have sucked if I didn’t have the ability to immediately look up the French, or the Latin, or the Greek, or even just the Catholic terminology. It’s a series very much so based in theological academia and if I wasn’t reading in Kindle, I probably would have dropped it after the first book, if not during.

Incredibiliter scriptum opus litterarium
I highly recommend this series for any reader. Especially for the reader that loves the research of the words & story. I highly enjoyed immersing in these written words. The character development, the world I lived in with them & the emotions these books invoked where indescribably thought provoking. I will be buying these in hardcopy to go on my "Will read again". Thank you so much, Jade.

I was so excited when this dropped into my email. This was a great conclusion to the Knights of Caliburn University series. We start where the cliffhanger left us in the second book. Gwenna and her men are trying to come to terms with everything that went down. I really enjoyed how it went more into the characters, they are each struggling with their own trauma and healing. I absolutely loved this series and can't wait to see what is next from Jade R Evans.

That ending was so far past disappointing I am actually speechless. Am I being punked? Where’s Ashton?
What was even the point to this whole series?? Legitimately I don’t get it.. the grail was absolutely not important in the least yet the entire series centres around that?? I. Beg. Your. Finest. Pardon?!?!

Review of advance copy received from Author
This was the perfect conclusion to this trilogy. I loved the way the series wrapped up and the HEA the group got. I didn’t anticipate all the twists and turns that happened in the book and I really enjoyed watching it all unfold. It was fascinating.

Little slow to start given the ending of the previous book. focused more on her and the boys hooking up, and I wish it would have pulled more of what starts in the middle for the story and builds to the end. Overall love the and to this trilogy and very well done as a Arthur retelling

A great way to end the trilogy as Gwenna has been chosen by her Knights. There was plenty of action, suspense and surprises for them in this intriguing and enjoyable story. A really fascinating and entertaining series.

This series is so unique to any I have read before! I love the characters and the comparisons to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
There are lots of holy references which are interesting to see in a modern era story.
And then we have the romance! Our MC's are just perfect for each other, the dynamic the 5 of them have is beautiful and Gwenna compliments each man so perfectly.
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I enjoyed the book but it fell a little short in some of the characters for me. Some of the connections between them all just wasn’t cohesive, but other than that the story was enjoyable and the fmc is top notch !!

Love this story
Always loved the story of king Arthur and Guienevere and this take is no exception. Such an amazing version of a classic love story. Guinevere and her Knights makes this version everything I hoped it would be

4.5 ⭐️
Good end to the trilogy. Quite a bit spicier than the first two, but done well! On the edge of my seat until the very end!

HOLY SMOKES!!!! I'm glad that it picked up right at the end of the second book! I'm glad i got the answers I was looking for but I'm sad this series is over!

I would have given this 2.5 stars but the line “you look like you have cancer, and a tapeworm, and the tapeworm has cancer” is worth a half star alone….
