The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow

The Everlasting (2025) is a critically acclaimed, Hugo-nominated fantasy novel by Alix E. Harrow. Known for her lyrical prose and deep exploration of folklore, Harrow weaves an intricate, genre-bending story that blends Arthurian myth, time-loop mechanics, and a searing critique of nationalism.

The story revolves around the fictional nation of Dominion, a place that completely bases its modern identity and patriotism on the tragic legend of Sir Una Everlasting. Una was a fierce lady-knight (evoking elements of Joan of Arc and King Arthur) who allegedly died centuries ago to unify the country and protect her queen.

In the modern day, Owen Mallory—a failed soldier and struggling historian—is profoundly obsessed with Una's history. His life changes forever when he is given access to a long-lost, magical manuscript. Instead of translating it, Owen finds himself pulled backward through time directly into Una’s era.

His mission from the modern powerful elite is simple: ensure history happens exactly the way the textbooks say it did, meaning he must guide Una toward her predestined, tragic death. However, as Owen spends time with the weary, real-life knight, his abstract admiration morphs into a deeply personal love. Bound together in a looping timeline, Owen and Una are faced with a heartbreaking choice: play their assigned parts in a national myth, or destroy the timeline to rewrite a different future.
