Ivar The Destroyer is dead.

Killed by my hands.

Now, I hold the throne, and the Berserkers look to me for leadership. But loyalty runs deep—can I really trust the men who followed Ivar’s ruthless orders? So much blood has been spilled to end this fight before it ever began, but bigger challenges loom.

My men were captured and taken to The Cities, and now fractured pasts, lies, and love will blur together as I fight to save the only people I care about—the men I love. It’s a race against time, and an exercise in trust requiring the assistance of both family and allies, new and old, from all four corners of the Wastes.

Slave. Champion. Queen. I am all of these and so much more. It’s time I showed them who I really am.

The Wasteland is changing, I can feel it in the air, war...war is coming and I will lead the battle cry.

Long live the Berserker Queen.

The third book in this post-apocalyptic Saga and this one concentrated more on the developing dynamic between seeker king Dray and his chosen soulmate.
So after Ivor, the Destroyers annihilation at the hands of his prior pet Taz finds herself at the helm and the new Berserker Queen.
She is ready to lead her people into a better age but also to retrieve her men who have been captured and imprisoned and taken back to the City.
This book covered Taz and the efforts she will go to to see them all reunited and together as a family.
Taz was her usual take no messing bloodthirsty savage self but now with an equally crazy seeker king by her side for added muscle and sexy times.
And the sexy times here were hardcore and very erotic.
I really like Dray and what he represents and brings to the table when paired off with our girl.
But as much as I adore him and believe in his feelings and their overall dynamic which was mesmerising, I still don’t think he is the sort of man to share his woman he’s just too possessive and overtly male for me to ever see it.
He comes across as the sort of man who wouldn’t share his toys or play well with others at least not without a very good reason like a deep bond with the males involved which wasn’t the case here.
There are examples of his particular mindset throughout this with what Dray says and does showcasing this fact every time he threatens someone for even looking at Taz.
The others though I could see it not because they weren’t equally as possessive but mostly because of there close emotional bond with each other.
This felt more like Dray was her husband and the others were her harem like in times of old.
This dynamic disturbed me slightly as I do think this would have worked better as either her males or her seeker but not both.
I did actually like them all I just didn’t think this worked as a unit and as I have said in a previous review of this series Dray slightly overshadowed the other males for me.
He was just so overtly male and psychotically savage, he was a tough one to measure up to.
This was again interesting with where it went but I did think the finish was a bit abrupt.
I still really enjoyed myself this is an incredibly imaginative series with some fantastic world-building that Was a fascinating read.
There is also scope for future stories set in this world or even a continuation of this one.
Even with my slight issues, this was a solid four-star read for me the writing with this one was again excellent and it definitely easily kept my attention.

This entire book just pumped me up more and more for the war to come. When it ended on that cliffy I about died. How people made it an entire year waiting for the last book I will never know. Waiting five minutes is killing me! But damn if this series doesn't get better each book. This time around Taz has to save her city boys who’ve been taken by the remaining gov’t there. Given that her four guys are not around she has a lot of time to spend with Dray whose proven to be the #1 crazy in the series and of course now my absolute favorite. God these two make cutting off heads and bathing in blood sexy, how, I do not even kn0w lol. I loved that they had the time to spend together and the fact they take their aggression out on one another is both hot and kind of scary. After defeating her enemy I had to laugh when Dray came to her rescue, even if he was a few minutes too late, then again if anyone knows Taz can survive on her own it’s Dray: the one out of all her men who actually witnessed her time as a slave and fighter. I’m still so sad over the ones we lose and their memory remains heavy in this book. I absolutely love this series and Im already dreading the end. Love love love this series!! Glad we got to meet Piper. Her girl crush on Taz is hilarious and I love their banter. I definitely need to check out her novella. My one complaint would be there were a few errors that really messed with my psyche such as when her and Piper are talking about her having six men?!?!? I can’t tell you how long I pondered this wondering who in my brain I was missing when in reality there are only five in total-more than enough for Taz especially with all the responsibility she already has. There was also a time or two Jax is referred to as Jaz and it did not help my already confused brain and honestly I was more mad because it distracted me from the story lol. For those curious there is no M/M but I didn’t miss the full RH experience because Taz is more than woman enough to tame and screw the brains out of all her men and go off to hack a few throats without breaking a sweat.

This king of her is perfect for what she needs

Is he the perfect hero? Ha, not even close! But he is the perfect incarnation of what the world became. And he is good for his Queen.


What I love most about this series is that you actually get to see the characters grow, become a better version of themselves. And they can't do it on their own, they need each other. Love, love, love it!

Yup, the story is still fun. Can't wait for the next part though! I missed her other guys.

Maybe 3.5, but rounding just for Dray.

I like this series. It manages to do post-apocalyptic in a way that isn't too overblown or clichéd. I mean, it sort of is a bit Mad Max clichéd, but I like the way there are the different clans and areas and find the world building works well.

Worth continues to be a (mostly) awesome character. I do love how kick ass she is and how tough, but sometimes it got a bit tiresome and repetitive. It's like every single person thinks she's the most amazing thing ever and it grates occasionally.

I also thought the ending was quite abrupt. Is this the final book? Don't quite know why it ended like that.

My favourite part I'd this book was Dray. He's in this a lot and I love the crazy bastard. I have a soft spot for his kind of character and he toes the perfect line of alpha without being a douche, romantic (in a sick sort of way) and just crazy.

I honestly could not remember the other Harem members and we don't see then until the last 20% and then it's really just sex. Dray was the only one I'd remembered from the last book, so I wasn't that invested in the rescue storyline, I just wanted more Worth and Dray.

However, this is a RH that is well written, not a bully or an Academy and feels a bit different, so I totally recommend it.

The sad thing about this series is that it started out at a ratio of 80% story, 20% sex in book 1. Then book 2 went 50/50, with a dash of torture porn in Worth's flashbacks. Then in book 3, we get 20% story, 80% sex... It basically just becomes (very repetitive) porn.

And then it doesn't even have a real ending. Is this the end of the series? Because... really?

It also doesn't really work as a reverse harem, because Dray gets a lot of singular focus, so he's reasonably well developed and I like him as the lead male. The other guys are mostly absent from this book, and I found that I didn't really miss them. When we get back to them in the last quarter of the book, I was bored and disappointed that we weren't with Dray.

I have so enjoyed this series so far. But when I read the Cities, things jumped up for me. Everything was stepped up.

Worth is such a great character, I enjoyed her immensely before. But it seems like she stepped up more so. Add in that I have been waiting for something to happen and it finally does!! Yes!!! I do not want to give anything away, but just to say that this is so worth the read. So much happens with the plot, relationship wise, and just everything is stepped up.

I know I am not giving much away, but I do not want to slip up and reveal anything. Trust me this is a great read. This whole series is awesome, and one that if you are on the fence about, I would highly recommend. Also while you are at it, this author is crazy good. Worth looking into her other works.

This was probably my favorite of the series yet. Not only did the focus, the savagery and the emotional complexity all hit a crescendo that maximized the potential of both the characters and the story arc, but Dray. Oh man, oh man, did the vulnerability and viciousness all harmonize with those two, but the writing quality seemed to flourish during this installment due to a connection Ms Knight seemed to have with Worth and Dray working together. All in all, an outstanding showing from the author and a fully satisfying read for the fan here.

Read With The Lost

It was a tad frustrating that I had to read both the companion series and this series together to keep from jumping ahead in content with these installments, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I’ll be looking forward to the final one!

Dam dam dam. the blood lust is still there and that ending. I must read the last one now. A big battle is coming and you know it's going to be good. I love Piper and can't wait to see more of her. Dray is just great. This is one of these series which surprises you and keeps on going. I can't wait to see the city fall.

Holy freaking sands below. I’m damned near speechless. This book was everything I wanted it to be. It was justice and revenge and savagery and love. I’m not going to give any spoilers, but when Worth reads a certain letter from a certain someone I sobbed like a baby the entire time.

Worth has quickly become my favorite character, possibly ever, and I have a huge girl crush on her. As with all the Champion books, K.A. Knight pulls no punches, and Worth takes out her enemies in the most satisfying ways. I love that she’s finding a chance to embrace some vulnerability with the guys, but she also manages to carry the fate of thousands on her shoulder with such ferocity. I cannot wait for the next book in this series, and I simply can not recommend this series and book highly enough.

Long live our fucking queen.

The Cities is the third book in the Their Champion series by K.A Knight.

The charters, plot, emotions, laughter, adventure and more are once again on point. You’ll be drawn into Worth’s story quickly and be wanting more with each turn of the page.

As per each of the other books in this series The Cities is definitely another fabulous book and an overall series which I highly recommend.

“I’m Worth,” I reply.
“Berserker Queen,” Bern adds. “The Champion of the Wastes,” Henry inserts.
“Soulmate!” Dray interjects with a smirk, and I roll my eyes.
“Or just Worth, ignore them.” “More like pain in the ass,” Evan mumbles.”

This female protagonist has many names for a reason. She is such a badass. She has been since the beginning of this series but The Cities truly showcases her skills. As a leader now she has officially shed her “slave” skin that’s left her proving a point and she’s moved into the territory of owning her shit and protecting her men.

The Cities picks up with Taz killing 4 Berserkers who refuse to allow her to be their Queen. She has Ivar’s dead body still next to her and she rules their land. Opening this book up with violence on violence made me wary maybe that’s where the fighting would stay, and it would lead to the issue I had with The Summit where it was too much romance and not enough storyline or action, but this book did not fail. After handling things in the Berserker clan she hits the road with Dray and her loyal people of Berserkers and Seekers. Btw DRAY DRAY DRAY!!!! I was so excited that the majority of this book was just him with her. Don’t get me wrong, I love her harem of men but Dray has my heart. When he’s not there I feel incomplete. So I was totally fine with getting to see him in action more. Anyway, back to where I was.

They hit the road and are met with ambushes, cannibals, and explosions galore. The fight scenes are stellar. They are described so perfectly you can almost hear a knife sliding out of a sheath in your ears. Smell blood in the air. Feel the adrenaline pumping through your body at every quick turn and sprint from a blade coming at you. It’s glorious! While all this is taking place we get to know more about the assassin Archel, the doctor Evan, and 4 new characters introduced in this book. Sounds like a lot but I promise you can’t help but love them.

Archel is hilarious. I love his witty comebacks and stealthy shadow moves. Evan grew on me quick. He has a little mouth on him and can be such an adorable brat. The new character introduced halfway through the book is another badass female that I was cheering for the moment I met her. She rambles, she’s cheery and she doesn’t let her trauma hold her back.

The actual Cities are not entered until about 75% of the book, but it’s perfectly okay. It allows for some catch up with her men and then the book ends on a cliffhanger. I’m excited to read the fourth book. I know it will open with more violence and bloodlust; hopefully no deaths I can’t bear.

Another great story in the series!

I really enjoyed this one! It picks up right where the last one left off and we get to see Tazanna Worth take on Ivar and show her inner strength and refusal to break. There are quite a few twists and turns within this one as Worth becomes Berserker Queen and has to figure out who to trust and how to change the clan for the better. In the aftermath of her taking down Ivar, in comes Dray, her psycho man and he comes with news that the Cities have come and taken the rest of her men. I enjoyed getting to see more of Dray and seeing Worth and Dray build their relationship into the physical and emotional now that they are together. They definitely are a different brand of crazy but it works for them and gives each of them something that they need and don't get elsewhere. I enjoyed seeing them figuring things out and satisfying that different side to them. It is more on the rough and kinky side in the realm of the sadist/masochist side of things as they like to fight it out but it is consensual and does it for them both. I really enjoyed getting to know Dray better throughout this book as we have seen him and know he's on the psycho side of things though totally gone for worth and that she is his soulmate but we haven't really gotten to see the deeper side to him and I loved seeing it. This book has more of the two of them together since her men are captured in the Cities. Tazanna is building everything up and preparing to go after them and get them back as well as going to war with the Cities since they want to conquer the North. This story was well written and engaging. I would highly recommend reading the previous books prior to this one as they really do build on each other both with plot and character strength as well as Tazanna's relationships with all the men. They happen together and separately and I loved how they developed as both individual relationships and group dynamics. This one does end with a bit of a cliffhanger and I absolutely need the next book to see how it all comes together and what Tazanna is up to next.

GENRE/TROPES: Dystopian, RH
POV: 1st, FMC
SERIES: Their Champion, Book 3
STEAM LEVEL: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I mean, really? Blood, war, motorcycles, betrayals, fights, sweet moments, and LOTSA SEXA. A twist on mother freaking Mad Max.

Taz is separated from her 4 lost boys for most of this books while she deals with things in the Wastes before heading to the Cities to get her guys back. Dray, that psycho sweetheart stole the show with his crazy personality and complete devotion to his Soulmate.

A wee bit cheesy with all the “queen” talk and just how fierce Taz is made out to be, but you know what? If I ever live in a dystopian world I hope I have a quarter of the inner strength that girl has. These books don’t slow down. Filled with tension and WTF moments on every other page. And the sexy scenes? Angry, bloody, sweet, passionate, and hot AF. 🥵

My only gripe is the editing. Quite a few mistakes (kept saying 6 guys and I’m like, I thought she only has 5??) and lots of wrong letters and punctuation errors. 🙈

I am really loving this series though. The material is heavy and gritty. It’s not a feel-good read but the romance is amazing. The dynamics come easy and every guy has a special bond with Taz which I think is perfect for the weight of this story. The sweet moments are few but so meaningful. The sexy scenes are many, but needed to balance all the wildness. I’m ready to read the conclusion to this series!

I Give this Book a 3.5/5 Star Rating, Listing as 3.

HEA(?): It does comes off as one (kinda wish for a head scratching emoji), but there is a book 4 coming soon so I’m assuming that this is a cliffhanger.
Cliffhanger: Yes......?
Heat: 5/5, while there’s is quite a bit of it, Loved the Scenes with Dray! But at some areas it did seem a tad repetitive or just very short lived, especially with the other guys, but nonetheless I enjoyed it.
Dark: 3.5/5
Romance: 3.5-4/5
Drama: 4.5-5/5
Suspense: 3.5-4ish/5
Pacing: Mid.
Relationship Type: RH> Reverse Harem MFMMMM
Though, at times I did almost think the RH was secretly dispersed or at the very least was Demoted.
Especially in importance, cause (to me) some of the guys just seemed to disappear or just become rarely mentioned.
Secondary characters seem to be pushed to Main Characters, while some Main Characters become either Secondary or nearly Background characters at times.
Dray is the main guy featured in this book, and I without a doubt have to say that he is my Absolute Favorite!

What I didn’t/don’t like is the utter devotion to Taz, everyone is immediately enamored with her, but at times I just don’t understand why.

A cliffhanger!

Book 3 includes some full circle moments, lots of one on one time for Dray and his Queen. Gathering of the troops and uniting the groups behind the badass MFC takes some time, soul searching, and a couple heartbreaks along the way. Then we are in the cities and the climax(es) of her journey -- the battle of wills between the Queen of the North and the Madame Prime Minister of the cities... a bit of waiting around (insert a few sexy moments) and then ends with a battle cry of a cliffhanger.
A good 3rd installment, Tazanna Worth has traveled the scorched northern lands and moved towards accepting herself, every scar, and inner demon -- but she also finds a tempered soul, a fierce spirit that never gives up, and a fearless heart willing to love, a fighter that demands acceptance and faces down the enemy to find her men and bring them home, but also to save the world -- the cities from tyranny and the northern clans from greedy politicians.
I just love Nan! And Piper... more fierce woman surviving the apocalypse in style.

4.5 stars!

I am loving this post apocalyptic romance series. This is book three and just as addictive as the rest.

Worth has become this formidable force that is respected and supported all throughout the North. She has armies of people that trust her and are ready to go to war with her. She is more than ready to lead her people and secure their lands.

I think Dray, the batshit crazy King of the Seekers, is now my favourite! I loved him so much in this book. The way he always has Worths back, trusts her inexplicably and will do anything to protect her and his people. He is just 🔥🔥. You don't really see much of her other men in this story which is probably another reason why Dray was able to grow on me so much. And to be honest, I didn't exactly miss them either 🙈

I don't want to say much about the plot as it will spoil the first two books. It's definitely a series you want to binge read as they all start off where the previous finishes.

I can't wait to start on the fourth and final book and see how it all ends.

*SPOILER FOR THE SERIES*

My petty side came out, I skipped ahead because I wanted to see when and if Archel and/or Evan would be joining the harem because I feel like that was hinted at, more so for Evan.
So to my utter HORROR, they both end up being in love with this girl Piper and they both join her harem by the end of the series… yes I checked because I had to know.
*Sigh*
You’re done. You’re done.

Finding this out has absolutely crushed me and completely turned me off this series.
Every single one of Worth’s men is obsessed with her (rightfully so) but come on, I need a bit of adversity and slow burn mixed in with all that.

This could have literally been a masterpiece and I’m so so sad it didn’t turn out how I thought it would.
I will not be finishing the series at this point and even knowing Piper gets her own harem, I don’t really care for it.
Fuck I’m so bummed because Taz is one of my favourite heroines, personality wise.

Would be a solid 4.5

But the editing is horrible. When you put in print that it was professionally edited and proofread, you tend to expect a minimal amount of errors. The occasional if/of, as/is transposition...
incorrect word for the sentence but it is spelled correctly. This is the third book in the series. I get the "indie author" status. I have several author friends, I know it takes money to polish it all up. These are mistakes that anyone, beta readers especially, should have caught. I love this storyline, love the characters and the world. The sex scenes feel forced and there are just too many of them to be believable. I like a great sex scene, but I love a good story. For me, they actually take away from the story because they are so frequent.

Long live the queen

I finished book three and I’m ready for war! Watching Tazanna transform from a uncertain loner to a confident leader is magical. I love her heart to help others. People want to follow her because she is brave and strong and doesn’t let anything stop her.

The harem, well they are all yummy but Dray, holy hot sauce...he’s freaking fabulous. Honestly they all give her different pieces she needs.

Tazanna is tough, she’s smart, and she kicks everyone who gets in her way. Let the North win and the people be free! 💜

This is a RH, with group interactions, blood play, and trauma. May trigger some people.

I. Devoured this book. This one is my favorite in the series so far I really enjoyed how Taz has become a queen and her and J story I love going to the cities and I am really looking forward to the last book in the series. I am tandem reading with the paper series that happened at the same time as this one and I really enjoy doing it that way because you get two different views and you also get to see what happens with some of your favorite characters when they’re not directly with the other half of the group. It is really well written this way and I enjoy it more than I did when tandem reading ToG.
This series is legit a new favorite.

Book (series) Review 📓⛓️ THEIR CHAMPION 4 book series BY K.A. KNIGHT
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
1. THE WASTELAND
2. THE SUMMIT
3. THE CITIES
4. THE NATIONS
This series was honestly the best I loved every book I listened to these books on audible again she had picked the perfect person to read Holly Jackson I love her voice! 🥵

The characters in these books are jaw dropping in every word of the sense to their personalities to the way they are described. Worth and her men would die for each other but all so love for each other there bond go beyond the world they live in.

The books were written to perfection they are everything you would want in a doomsday, end of world.

Tattoos and Crown

Worth is my girl and I can’t get enough of her warrior spirit and wild side with her men. Conquering titles and cities while leading the charge. She is feral and isn’t afraid to show you who she really is. Why choose when all her men are loyal and top tier. I can’t get enough of all the other women who are highlighted in leadership roles regardless of where they stand in this war. The grief in this book is also heavy but closure was also given. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves why choose. I gave this book 5 stars because the plot came together so well and the spice was very satisfying.

Love Dray's Craziness

I am so in love with Worth. She is the kind of character that jumps of the page and right into your heart. If I ever met her in real life I guarantee we would be the best of friends (assuming she didn't kill me first). Dray is absolutely swoonworthy. As are the rest of the guys, but with them being held in the Cities it was really time to see him shine. His particular brand of crazy is so freaking hot. I loved seeing Worth grow into herself as a leader that others voluntarily chose to rally behind. I hope that there's plenty more of her to come.

So disappointed

Possible spoilers...

I am so disappointed in this last book. The MC claims to love her men and want them back but she is too busy with Stay to actually find them. Then he married her without her knowing and she just accepts it but caring at all what her other "loves" will think of care. She went from being a Champion, but it seems once her guys were out of sight she didn't really care about how they felt. Yes, she mentioned how she wanted to go fine them but it fell flat. I could hardly even finish the store. So disappointing.

good conclusion

I’ve loved this series.
This book has a lot of Worth and Dray time and I’m all here for it. I love how her guys know what she needs, and I didn’t think I’d like Dray in the harem, but here we are. I love him.
The build up to the conclusion is good. It kept me invested and intrigued.
Sadly, while this book was almost my favorite in the series, it really is riddled with mistakes. So many word or spelling errors and actual mistakes. A couple of times it’s mentioned that Worth has 6 men, and she only has 5. Not a huge deal, but mistakes nonetheless.
