EXCLUSIVE DELUXE EDITION--a beautiful hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges, a foil stamp on the casing, and full-page illustrations! 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 woman not yet a knight, and a man 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?
