In a mirror England fuelled by stories, the knight and the enchantress are fated to fall in love and doom each other over and over, the same fable retold over thousands of lifetimes. But Vina and Simran are looking for a way to break the cycle, just as a mysterious assassin begins targeting tales like theirs. From the author of the World Fantasy Award-winning The Jasmine Throne, comes a sapphic epic fantasy of medieval myth, romance, and the magic of stories.
