The Everlasting

Their story transcends time.
But can it be rewritten?The instant Sunday Times bestseller from Alix E. Harrow, the author of Starling House, comes a time-travelling, genre-defying, utterly fantastical quest – a work of romantic fantasy unlike any other.

Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, then died for queen and country. Her legend lives on, but her life as it truly happened has been long forgotten. Centuries later, Owen Mallory – failed soldier, struggling scholar – falls in love with her tale. It takes him to war, to the archives and then into the past itself.

So Una and Owen become tangled, bound to retell her story over and over, no matter what it costs. But their tale always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend, and finally engineer a new ending, they’ll have to confront its author – and change history itself.

Genre: Fantasy

"As dark and oppressive as it is utterly sublime, The Everlasting is a lush fantasy that also holds up a mythological mirror to our present-day neuroses, honing its edge on our need for identity and belonging. It's also got a buff lady knight and a cowardly scholar who worships the ground she walks on. Anyway, I loved every word of it." - Olivia Atwater

"Incandescent. The Everlasting should enshrine Alix E. Harrow as one of the finest writers of our generation and if it doesn't, there's something seriously wrong with the world." - Cassandra Khaw

"Opening this book is like being handed a sharp, sexy onion: each layer of narrative that unwraps is more devastating than the last, and by the time you reach its tender heart, you're probably crying. Alix E. Harrow has created an exquisite, epic romance that also takes you by the throat and forces you to consider the terrible costs of history, loyalty and legend-making." - Freya Marske

"A book so wildly original as to be unlike any other . . . Simply a masterpiece." - Laura Steven
