“One of the best audiobooks I listened to this year!! 5 stars! ”

“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. ”

“Another banger. Alix E Harrow is continuing to maintain her crown as an auto-buy author. Pure perfection. ”
— Taylor • The Book Rack
Bookseller recommendation
“Any book with a big lady knight romantic interest will capture my attention, but sprinkle in time travel, Arthurian parallels, and fighting the unstoppable beast that is nationalistic propaganda, and I'm hooked. This book is making me realize that my favorite romances include time travel elements (About Time and This is How You Lose the Time War, anyone?) and The Everlasting slots beautifully into this. Alix E. Harrow knocked it out of the park with this, and if you love stories that highlight the power of storytelling, get this book into your brain. ”

“A delightful adventure turned time bending, and thought provoking fight for freedom. If you want a love story that ignores the romance genre tropes, give this a listen. I loved having the two readers paired with the different characters in the book. Their voices became the characters and simmered in their chemistry. ”
— Leigh • Old Harbor Books
Bookseller recommendation
“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
Bookseller recommendation
“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. ”
— Chelsea • The Lakewood Bookstore
Bookseller recommendation
“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

“An ode to the many lonely valiant knights, who all deserved love and companionship as they saved the world. ”
— Carrie • Skylark Bookshop
Bookseller recommendation
“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
Bookseller recommendation
“I couldn’t get enough of this book! A battle-weary knight bound by legend, a haunted historian and a time loop that ties them together across centuries? Say less. Harrow spins an atmospheric, heart-wrenching tale of love, loss and the stories that refuse to die. ”
— Zosia • Mostly Books
Bookseller recommendation
“A BEAUTIFULLY spun old-world tale of knights, dragons, evil tyrants, and wiry academic men with glasses that steal your heart. For fans of Brienne of Tarth and all badass, magnificent women. This was so devastatingly romantic. I was moved again and again, clutching my chest every time Una Everlasting met another heartbreaking fate. AND THE YEARNING here is so decadent it made me want to scream. THE DEVOTION OF THESE CHARACTERS MY GOD. Let dominion burn WE FIGHT FOR LOVE. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I LOVED THIS STORY.”
— Shelby • Cavalier House Books
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.
