The Everlasting

"The Everlasting" follows Owen Mallory, a scholar and war veteran who has spent his life studying Sir Una Everlasting, the legendary knight who helped found the nation of Dominion. When Owen is handed Una's original manuscript, he is pulled backward through time and into the events that made her a legend. Tasked with guiding Una toward the destiny history has already recorded for her, Owen finds the reality of the woman far more complicated than the icon he studied.

As the two travel together, the gap between the story a nation tells and the person who lived it steadily widens. Owen must weigh his loyalty to the history he serves against what he comes to feel for Una herself. The novel blends time travel, knightly adventure, and romance within an inventively constructed plot.

It examines how the stories a society tells about its past are used to shape and justify its future. Themes of heroism, empire, memory, and self-determination run throughout. Harrow contrasts official legend with lived experience, asking who benefits when history is written a certain way.

The result is a reflective, romantic fantasy about rewriting the roles that history, and power, assign.
