The Everlasting

Owen Mallory, a scholar newly returned from war, begins researching Sir Una Everlasting, a knight who helped Queen Yvanne found the nation of Dominion and who died for her queen and country. When he is given the long-lost original manuscript of Una’s story, he learns that his task is not to translate it but to travel back in time and lead Una through the events that will become her legend. As he does so, he starts to see her less as a national hero and more as a human being. The novel has two second-person narrators, each addressing the other.
