From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Starling House, Alix E. Harrow, comes a moving and genre-defying adventure through time – as a reluctant lady knight and a not-so-heroic-historian will fight through time and space to rewrite their tragic fates . . . and finally reveal the truths hidden beneath the greatest legend ever told.
It begins where it ends: beneath the yew tree – a girl not yet a knight, and a boy without a story.
It is where she pulls a sword from the heartwood and becomes a legend.
And it is where, more than a thousand years later, he will find her – and lose her – and find her – and lose her again.
It is where a new story will be written – but whose will it be?

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 E. 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 - Freya Marske, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Marvellous Light
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, honing its edge on our need for identity and belonging. It's also got a buff lady knight and a cowardly scholar who worships the ground she walks on. Anyway, I loved every word of it - Olivia Atwater, author of Half a Soul
Fucking incandescent. The Everlasting should enshrine Alix E. Harrow as one of the finest writers of our generation and if it doesn't, there's something seriously wrong with the world - Cassandra Khaw, author of Nothing But Blackened Teeth
Gorgeous and quintessentially Alix E. Harrow, The Everlasting is a meticulously layered time loop story with devastating emotional impact that grapples with the toll of loyalty and duty, the weaponization of myth and the true cost of nation and empire. A highly anticipated and deeply moving epic - KelleyAnn Thai, Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore

Alix E. Harrow is an exceptional, undeniable talent, and Starling House, with its gentle reassurances of the homes we make and the love we deserve, is more than satisfying. It’s pure loveliness in book form - Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six on on Starling House
The gaudy, dark seam between horror and romance. Starling House is Alix E. Harrow’s greatest work yet – if you can survive its slow belly-crawl into hell - Ava Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Lady MacBeth on on Starling House
Gorgeous, poignant, and honest – an unforgettable read - Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter on Starling House
