Reading guide
This is a single novel with no earlier book to read first, so you can begin on the opening page.
Sir Una Everlasting is remembered as Dominion's great hero, while the real woman is forgotten. Owen Mallory, a failed soldier and struggling scholar, falls in love with her story. It takes him to war, into the archives and back through time, where he is sent to make sure Una plays her part. Together they are bound to retell the same story, which always ends the same way. Rewriting Una's legend would mean rewriting history and both of their lives.

Description

Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion's greatest hero, an orphaned girl who became a knight and died for queen and country. Centuries later her legend survives in songs, children's books and recruiting posters, but the woman herself has been forgotten. Alix E. Harrow, author of the Sunday Times bestseller Starling House, turns that gap into a moving, genre-defying quest.

Owen Mallory, a failed soldier and struggling scholar, falls in love with Una's story. It carries him to war, into the archives and finally back through time, sent to make sure she plays her part. Bound to retell the same story again and again, the two of them are tangled together in a tale that always ends the same way. Changing it means rewriting history and their own lives with it. The blurb describes it as a romance with real ache, for anyone who has wondered what national myths cost the people caught inside them.
