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.


"Alix E. Harrow is an exceptional, undeniable talent." —Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six

"An utter masterpiece… I loved every single page." —Rachel Gillig, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of One Dark Window

Gorgeous. What a joy to read something that truly defies your expectations. This book kept me guessing for its entire length, and despite the precarity of the balancing act it was attempting, managed to stick the landing.

I have no words, I have no notes. I was intrigued since trusted mutuals gave very high praise for this book, so I picked it up on a whim. Didn't even start reading it until months later when my bookclub made it our monthly pick. This was so beautifully written and the plot was so complex, I was repeatedly shocked chapter after chapter! A historian meets a fairy tale, but who's controlling the pen? This story was genius, I absolutely loved every second of it.

It was a bit of a struggle to get through. Didn't love any of the main characters. Not a quick read, despite being only 300-ish pages.
