“Achingly romantic, genre-bending, lyrical. I went into the Everlasting completely blind, and would recommend doing the same. Trust me. If you like big lady knights and gangly, befuddled academics, you're gonna have a good time. ”

“The Everlasting will now be the epic love story that all others will be compared to. It was so beautiful and will live rent free in my head forevermore. ”

“A new twist on time loops, taking a new Arthurian legend and dipping it in a twisted, yearning, I'll love you in every lifetime quest. Richly written, never falling into the traps of the genre, always on a clear and gripping path without giving away what comes next. Truly one of the most phenomenal contributions to modern fantasy. Reminds us that legends aren't, they're lived. ”

“Time travel, a fascist ruler, heroic FMC, and a scholar tasked with establishing her lore… with several twists and turns — and returns — along the way. Loved this book. The dual POV was a treat and felt like a lives-long love letter. ”

“Devastatingly good. Whatever you’re expecting, Alix E. Harrow gives you more. And more. What glorious use of fantasy and legend - to clearly and incisively illustrate the danger inherent in nationalist mythologies. And what incredible, beautiful love. This is one of my top 5 books of this year! ”
— Oli • Boswell Book Company

“Rich, beautiful and visceral. A love story built on a never-ending cycle of bloodshed. The sacrificial knight and the scholar conscripted to write her story are doomed to endlessly lead each other through the same brutal legend time and time again. An epic tale that is equal parts brutal and devastating. ”
— Jericha • Northshire Bookstore

“As soon as I finished this I wanted to start it all over again (or maybe that time loop just got to me). The Everlasting is at once an epic, expansive journey through time, exploring the nature of nationalism, propaganda, and the power of storytelling, and a deeply personal, searingly intimate love story. I always love Harrow's writing, but this might be my favorite yet. Everlasting is an apt title - this one will stick with me.”
— Lily • Quail Ridge Books

“A big, sad lady knight stuck in a tragic time loop? A historian from the future sent back in time to make sure she plays her part? A story for the (medieval) ages? This novel is unhinged and folkloric and gorgeous, and I will love Alix E. Harrow’s writing until the day I die. ”
— Madeline • Writer's Block Bookstore

“I haven’t been this moved by a fantasy novel in a very, very long time. Harrow has once again created such an intense and intimate story between these characters that I found myself listening well into the night, desperate to know what happened next. This is surely a book that will stay with me for years to come. ”
— Lauren • River Bend Bookshop
Bookseller recommendation
“An exceedingly beautiful, twisted tale of legendary proportions: here are crown and country forged and shattered, hero and villain carefully crafted. Here are acts of bravery, madness, love, and sacrifice. Here, myth is written, and so becomes power, seeded and sustained. Here is propaganda, here is control. Here is freedom, here is the fight. Do not read a plot synopsis if you can help it - here, words are everything; let them speak for themselves. ”
— Talia • Flyleaf Books
Bookseller recommendation
“A book about legends that built a nation wrapped in a timeless love story. Harrow does a great job examining the questions - What makes a nation that withstands time, and who are the real villains? Pairing a historian and a knight was a brilliant contrast, showcasing the power of the pen. When legends are used for political agendas, The Everlasting leaves us with the understanding that further examination is necessary. ”
— Ashlyn • Underbrush Book Club
Bookseller recommendation
“Absolutely loved this story, and Moira and Sid really made the characters come to life. If you love a good time travel romance, against all odds, please give this one a try! All I could picture was Brienne of Tarth as Una the lady knight, and it was perfect. ”
— Krystal • The Bookies Bookstore
A 2026 Audie Awards finalist for Best Fantasy!“[Narrators Moira] Quirk's and [Sid] Sagar's voices are well suited to their characters and bring nuanced meaning to the story.”—AudioFileFrom Alix E. Harrow, the New York Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest about the lady-knight whose legend built a nation, and the cowardly historian sent back through time to make sure she plays her part–even if it breaks his heart.Sir Una Everlasting was Dominion’s greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in children’s books and recruiting posters—but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten.Centuries later, Owen Mallory—failed soldier, struggling scholar—falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives—and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs.But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Una’s legend—if they want to tell a different story--they’ll have to rewrite history itself."Alix E. Harrow is an exceptional, undeniable talent." —Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six"An utter masterpiece… I loved every single page." —Rachel Gillig, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of One Dark WindowA Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.
