The Everlasting

A book so wildly original as to be unlike any other … Simply a masterpiece – Laura Steven, New York Times bestselling author of Our Infinite FatesOpening 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 LightAs 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 SoulIncandescent. 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 TeethGorgeous and quintessentially Alix E.
