From Alix E. Harrow, the New York Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest about the lady-knight whose legend built a nation, and the cowardly historian sent back through time to make sure she plays her part–even if it breaks his heart.

Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children’s books and recruiting posters—but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten.

Centuries later, Owen Mallory—failed soldier, struggling scholar—falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives—and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs.

But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend—if they want to tell a different story--they’ll have to rewrite history itself.

This book had everything I look for in a book and a lot i never knew i wanted. It's original and creative. It's sexy and sometimes gross. It's a powerful story. I loved it. thank you!

Loved it!

Loved the story! Loved the readers! Loved it all! Cannot wait to read the rest of her books.

The most gutting and wonderful

At times such a hard read, but lyrical and cutting to the very core of this biting and endless autumn. It’s pages still echo around the house when I have a quiet minute. I couldn’t put it down although I wished sometimes I was not reading it and wished there was so much more to keep reading as I neared the end. I hope you will read this book and give this gift to yourself. I hope you will take on this burden, and be better for the reading of it.
