A legend. A lie. A love story. From Alix E. Harrow, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest. 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 Dominions greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in childrens 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 Unas legend, and finally tell a different story, theyll have to rewrite history itself - and change their lives in the process.

In an English college, an undead academic can''t rest until he avenges his former tormentor. Following Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder, Salman Rushdie''s new fiction moves between the places he has grown up in, inhabited, explored, and left. In doing so, he asks fundamental questions we all one day face. How does one deal with, accommodate, or rail against entering the eleventh hour, the final stage of your life?
