About the book
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 At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

“4.25/5 This review is for the audio version of the book, narrated by Moira Quirk and Sid Sagar. Definitely worth the time to read. Owen is not a great success in his life. He's a historian, focusing on the folklore of his country, a somewhat failed war hero, hated by his countrymen for looking too much like the enemy, and hated by the enemy for looking like them and being a traitor. When he receives a mysterious ancient text about his country's most famous folk hero, Una the Everlasting, he quietly begins to translate it, but something is wrong. It feels familiar. Too familiar. When he ret…”
“5⭐️ - An enthralling and poetic tale that spans centuries, a scholar and a knight finding each other over and over again Owen Mallory's academic obsession has been the tale of Sir Una Everlasting - the greatest hero of the nation, an orphan girl who became a knight that bested all foes until the last. The many conflicting stories of her life have made him fall in love with her legend, that of the virtuous and true champion, time and time again. When a book purporting to be the truest story of her life appears on his desk.. then promptly disappears again.. he finds that the history taught is a…”
