The Everlasting - by Alix E Harrow (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

DELUXE EDITION--a beautiful hardcover edition featuring dark teal sprayed edges, a foil stamp on the casing, and full-page illustrations!

From 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

Review Quotes

[The Everlasting] is a feat of the ages. An utter masterpiece... It has scribbled itself over the heart line of my palm and there it will remain, as eternal as its namesake. I loved every single page. --Rachel Gillig, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of One Dark Window

"The loveliness of an Alix E. Harrow story is matched only by the exquisiteness of her craft... If you're furious; if you're bereft; if you find your world in need of a reckoning; if you want to be reminded of the power of a story; if you have or want a love that's noble and real and true--read this book. It's pure magic.--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six

"No one writes about why we read quite like Alix Harrow...A wildly inventive, truly magical tour de force." --Ava Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning, on The Everlasting

"A beautiful novel about the stories that shape our lives and the divine and ordinary inevitability of love... If Una Everlasting stabbed me I'd die happy."--Lex Croucher, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Gwen & Art Are Not In Love

"Equal parts Arthuriana-send-up and time-traveling tragic romance, I was utterly trapped in its pages-- and now free, already long to return."--Caitlin Starling, Bram Stoker Award Winner and USA Today bestselling author of The Death of Jane Lawrence on The Everlasting

"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.... It's also got a buff lady knight and a cowardly scholar who worships the ground she walks on. I loved every word of it."--Olivia Atwater, author of Half a Soul

"[A] devastating reminder that stories have the ability to change the past, present and future... you will come out of [The Everlasting] re-arranged and thanking Harrow for the transformative experience.--Maria Mora, author of The Immeasurable Depth of You

"The Everlasting is a myth about the myths that build nations. How borders are built with stories and heroes are as much a fiction as dragons. How flags are woven with lies told by victors, yet they are planted in us all the same. This sweeping new legend will ask you how many tragedies it takes to make a nation and whether you would fight time itself for love." --Don Martin, author of Verity Vox and The Curse of Foxfire

"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 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...Simply superb."-- Freya Marske, Sunday Times bestselling author A Marvellous Light

"Alix E. Harrow is a fantasy author who just does not miss." --Paste Magazine
