The instant Sunday Times bestseller from Alix E. Harrow, the author of Starling House - a moving and genre-defying quest. A legend. A lie. A love story. A lady-knight whose legend built a nation meets a retiring historian in awe of her fame. He''s 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.

Klappentext

**Their story transcends time.
But can it be rewritten?**From the instant Sunday Times bestseller Alix E. Harrow, author of Starling House, comes a time-travelling, genre-defying, utterly fantastical quest - a work of romantic fantasy unlike any other.

Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion's greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, then died for queen and country. Her legend lives on, but her life as it truly happened has been long forgotten. Centuries later, Owen Mallory - failed soldier, struggling scholar - falls in love with her tale. It takes him to war, to the archives and then into the past itself.

Una and Owen become tangled, bound to retell her story over and over, no matter what it costs. But it always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una's legend, and finally engineer a new ending, they'll have to confront its author - and change history itself.
