**WINNER OF THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL 2026**'A wildly inventive, truly magical tour de force' - Ava Reid, bestselling author of A Study in DrowningAn instant Sunday Times bestseller, The Everlasting is a time-travelling, genre-defying, utterly fantasical quest of love and endurance. Alix E. Harrow, author of Starling House, delivers 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. Una and Owen become tangled, bound to retell her story over and over, no matter what it costs. But it 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. * * *Praise for The Everlasting:`An exquisite, epic romance . . . Simply superb'- Freya Marske, author of A Marvellous Light `A book so wildly original as to be unlike any other . . . Simply a masterpiece'- Laura Steven, author of The Exact Opposite of Okay `As dark and oppressive as it is utterly sublime . . . I loved every word of it'- Olivia Atwater, author of The Witchwood Knot`Incandescent. The Everlasting should enshrine Alix E. Harrow as one of the finest writers of our generation'- Cassandra Khaw, author of The Library at HelleboreAlix E. Harrow's The Everlasting was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 3/11/2025.
