The final installment of Catherine Banner's sweeping Last Descendants
trilogy.
Harlan's family left the capital city when he was just eight days old,
fleeing the outbreak of war, taking with them only what they could carry
in their pockets. Since that dangerous and frightening journey in the
dead of winter, they have lived on Holy Island, where Maria hoped her
children could find peace. But peace of mind has always eluded Harlan,
and now that the island is threatened he must come to terms with his own
place in history. Forced to make a perilous journey back to the ruins of
the homeland he never properly knew, can Harlan bring his family back
together?
The third volume in the Last Descendants trilogy, The Heart at War is
a love story, an epic novel, and an exploration of what happens to the
individual human heart under the pressures that threaten to divide it.
