From the New York Times bestselling author of Starling House, Alix E. Harrow, comes a moving and genre-defying adventure through time, and the truth beneath the greatest legend ever told.
It begins where it ends: beneath the yew tree―a girl not yet a knight, and a boy without a story.
That is where she pulls a sword from the heartwood and becomes a legend.
And it is where, more than a thousand years later, he will find her―and lose her―and find her―and lose her again.
It is where a new story will be written―but whose will it be?

"[B]reathtaking...This impressively constructed plot keeps the pages flying on the way to a stunning finale. Harrow remains at the top of her game." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Una is beautifully drawn as a real person struggling to live up to the weight of becoming a legend, and Rolfe is a great villain; with each appearance, her knavery becomes so much more fascinating and devious that readers will turn the pages just to see what she'll do next. An epic time-travel fantasy about how stories from the past can shape our future." —Kirkus Reviews
