From the Editor, Katrina Diaz-Arnold of Refine Editing:

"Crescent Heart taught me that N.B. Austin never ceases to surprise. In the third installment in the Civilands series, readers will not only be taken even further and farther into the adventure and mystery of this world, but they will also witness the fallout of the events from Crystal Eyes in unexpected ways. In fact, it is that fallout that will alter these heroes and villains forever, transforming them into the catalysts we've always sensed them to be. In Crescent Heart, Austin delivers on his promise once again, creating a thrilling, engaging, and addictive read that leaves one desperate to know what happens next."
