Synopsis

With Her Majesty’s Royal Coven in shambles and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the sisterhood of friends and witches must find a new way of putting together the pieces if (wo)mankind is to stand a chance, in this final chapter to Juno’s “irresistible” series (Lana Harper)

Niamh, Ciara, Leonie, Elle and Theo. Five very different witches with one thing in common: they were unwittingly chosen by the dangerously charming Lucifer, the demon king of desire, to fulfil a dark prophecy: Satanis will rise and the daughters of Gaia will fall.

The coven is reunited—but broken. Niamh is back from the dead…but she hasn’t come back alone. Elle mourns a son she never had. Ciara languishes in a prison for witches, and Leonie reels from a very unexpected surprise.

Meanwhile, Lucifer offers fledgling witch Theo a deal: if she helps him, her coven—her family—will be spared. But the magic he asks for will take her out of London—out of time, entirely.

The final confrontation between good and evil in the spectacular conclusion to the saga of Her Majesty’s Royal Coven.

4.5 stars “I had an idea; Desperate Housewives, but they’re witches.” And from that kernel of an idea sprung the vibrant trilogy of Her Majesty’s Royal Coven. Millennial childhood friends and witches, women embracing their power, celebrating diversity, community, and friendship, with sassy quips, 90s......more

Goodreads review by Lorelei on March 30, 2025

The conclusion to Her Majesty’s Royal Coven! This is a mostly satisfying ending, but there’s a LOT going on here, and at times it feels a bit rushed in a race to tie up all the threads. There are some characters that get very satisfying arcs, and some that get short shrift. One character seems to ex......more

You mean now I have to say goodbye to the Her Majesty’s Royal Coven series? But... I never want to leave? Hebden Girlies Group Chat 4eva. I cannot stress enough how much you need to read HMRC, because Human Rites was a masterpiece of an ending. Juno Dawson has managed to create a community and a visi......more

I really liked the first book, I liked the second one, and so I was really excited to read the last one, so much so that I ordered it as soon as it came out! It started well, with (view spoiler)[Niamh coming back from the dead (hide spoiler)] , something I was expecting since book 1!
