The Everlasting

**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 Drowning An 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 . . .
