In a war across time, victory means everything—until love rewrites the rules.
Red and Blue are rival agents from opposite futures, trained to twist history in their factions’ favor. But when one leaves a taunting letter for the other—Burn before reading—a secret correspondence begins. What starts as enemy banter becomes poetry, vulnerability, and something dangerous: affection.
Their growing bond defies time, space, and duty. But in a universe where discovery means death, love might be the greatest risk of all.
Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards, This Is How You Lose the Time War is a dazzling epistolary romance bursting with lyrical prose, daring concepts, and heart-wrenching intimacy.
Because sometimes, in the middle of war, you find something worth losing everything for.
