A sweeping conclusion to an epic fantasy!
The final book in the Nav'Aria trilogy is here, and I've officially read it. Oh, the emotions! No, I won't spoil this for anyone, but for fellow fans...you won't be disappointed!
The Winged Crescent starts right where book 2 ended--and a good thing, too, so the cliffhanger is resolved. But as we see often in this series, the wins don't come easily for these brave characters and even more trouble awaits.
The final battle approaches, and Darion must be ready. Will his remaining family stay safe? What about the fates of the unicorns, the dragons, and countless fascinating side characters and magical beings? Will evil be banished and Nav'Aria returned to normal?
Find out for yourselves! Lose yourself in a world of magic, heroism, and grace...a beautiful world threatened by truly unspeakable evil (seriously, this villain is abominable!)...a family, broken by grief and multiple losses who never give up on each other or the followers who depend on their guidance and inspiring goodness. I'm sad the trilogy has reached its end, but I am grateful to have experienced it all.
Join Darion, a much more grown version of the awkward Oregonian pizza boy we met in book one, as he risks himself to save a world he just discovered--his true home, his birthplace, and the start of his future, if only they win...
Thank you, KJ Backer, for inviting us into such an enchanting world and for creating something so moving. I can't wait to see what you craft next!😊

I cannot get enough of Nav'Aria and all the amazing creatures I've come to love! Humans, unicorns, centaurs, nymphs, dragons, trolls, mermaids! All playing a vital role in the downfall of evil in this world Backer has created.
Darian and Triumph, once again, stole my heart with their bravery and bond of friendship. I was swept away as other humans and unicorns began to overcome obstacles, discover secrets, and create miracles together. Enemies become friends and friends become enemies...you won't see it coming.
I was on the edge of my seat till the very end...and there will be so many unexpected things happen...it will leave you with a tear and a smile at the same time. Awesome finale to this brilliant adventure!

Step Into The World Of Nav’Aria & Be Enthralled!
I was enticed into reading this series by a very dear lady & I’m so glad I took the bait!! What a fantastical ride; I’m not ashamed to admit that I read all three books in a little over a week!! I couldn’t wait to get my indoor & outdoor chores done so that I could delve into the land of Nav’Aria once again.
Each and every character within these pages is lovingly developed…even those cast in unlikeable roles! I thrilled at each new personality and marveled at how they were all cleverly tied together.
Kudos to KJ Backer for taking the time to create a one of a kind fantasy world most of us have only partially visited or dreamed of!! This lovely author valiantly depicts each and every whimsical creature I have ever daydreamed of when fantasizing about such a place.
Thank you KJ for a fabulous series in the wonderful world of Nav’Aria. Keep the creative juices flowing; can’t wait to read more of your exceptional work.

In the words of K.J. Backer, "Be EPIC." And this third book in the trilogy absolutely was! I can't say enough how much I LOVED this finale.
Darion grew so much from the beginning. I loved seeing him come into his own, gain confidence, and strengthen in his resolve, taking his place among the Royals.
Every character had their part to play in the destruction of evil, and I loved seeing the forces come together and love conquer all!
Many events were unexpected, and I was held on the edge of my seat waiting for what was next to come.
If you love fantasy, epic battles, and are rooting for good to triumph, grab up this book series! You will NOT be disappointed by any means!

All the elements I loved about the story were back: action, danger, a great villain, and some epic badass unicorns ready for battle. Because, again, this is not your normal lighthearted Disney unicorn. These unicorns are not here to play jokes, they are here to fight. And oh boy, what a fight!!!!
The story is about Darion who is about to fulfill his destiny. He shows, not only to himself, but to his parents and to whole of Nav’Aria, that he is more than worthy. The battles he fought, and still has to fight, the losses, the wins… he is ready to take on Morta. In an action filled, very emotional – I think I went through all emotions possible - epic ending to an epic book series.
I’m a huge fan of the sassy unicorns, the twists and turns, and about this ‘new’ villain… wow! That was a twist!
Nav’Aria is a bookseries for everyone who likes the world of Narnia, but darker, with badass unicorns, fantastic villains and a Chosen One in one hell of a ride.

A fantastic conclusion to an epic fantasy trilogy!
I was so excited to read this final book of three, and I was not disappointed. The action and excitement kept me enthralled. I was happy to see the female unicorn become the most formidable warrior. It was full of fight scenes and strong characters. The entire series was such a surprise to me. I normally don't read high fantasy, I usually stick to magical realism or low fantasy. However, this series has changed my perspective. I will be exploring many more high fantasy stories.

An EPIC Conclusion
A story that began with the bonds of family has ended with them even stronger than ever. Despite the corruption of evil, a multitude of fantasy creatures, and danger at every turn, KJ Backer has brought her series together in the most exciting and comprehensive of ways. She covered so many angles throughout this book, and I was never lost as she switched perspectives or predicaments. And the ending was definitely worth of the journey that all the characters made in these books!

An Edge Of Your Seat Read!
I was hooked from the first page. The author does a masterful job of weaving the plot lines together in alternating suspenseful, scary ways. The humour adds reprieve if only for a few seconds. I love this series and these characters. Highly recommended to fantasy/adventure readers & all those who love unicorns.
