QUOTE

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.

BLURB

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.

‘It begins where it ends: beneath the yew tree.’

This book was fabulous and made me feel totally emosh, the kind of story that sneaks up on you and refuses to let go.

Owen Mallory, a scholar, finds himself travelling back in time to write, and rewrite, the story of the legendary Knight, Una Everlasting.

Una is fierce and courageous and Owen is a self-titled coward! But they find something in each other and they fall.

A tale as old as time.
And it was beautiful.

I’m not usually a gushy person, but this story  broke through all my defenses. It’s so beautiful and I know I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Honestly, I could gush about it for ages.
