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.

5 books in catalog
Speculative fiction featuring portal doors, historical re-imaginings, and fairy tale subversions has established a distinct voice in contemporary fantasy, most prominently showcased in The Ten Thousand Doors of January. Alix E. Harrow became a Hugo Award winner and New York Times bestselling author through rich narratives that probe magic, power, and historical agency.
Her short fiction and novels blend academic historical research with mythic reimagining, earning accolades across major speculative literature organizations and building a devoted readership.
Born on November 9, 1989, in Idaho, Alix E. Harrow grew up in Colorado and Kentucky. She entered Berea College at age sixteen, graduating in 2009 with a degree in history. Before pursuing creative writing full-time, Harrow worked in various roles including research assistant, cashier, housekeeper, instructional designer, and migrant farmworker. She earned a master's degree in history from the University of Vermont and taught history at Eastern Kentucky University. Publishing her debut story 'A Whisper in the Weld' in Shimmer in 2014, Harrow also wrote under the name Alix Heintzman. She gained broad literary prominence when her short story 'A Witch's Guide to Escape: A Practical Compendium of Portal Fantasies' won the 2019 Hugo Award and earned nominations for the Nebula, World Fantasy, and Locus awards. Her work has also won a British Fantasy Award and received nominations for the Southern Book Prize and Goodreads Choice Awards. Originally from Kentucky, she now lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, with her husband and two children, and is represented by literary agent Kate McKean at Howard Morhaim Literary Agency.
Harrow's writing frequently examines the social mechanics of power, historical agency, and the transformative potential of books and written words. Her narratives draw on folkloric structures, gothic tropes, and portal fantasy conventions to explore themes of regional identity, autonomy, and resistance. By combining academic historical awareness with mythic reinterpretation, her work subverts classic fairy tale premises—such as in her Fractured Fables novellas—and interrogates entrenched institutional structures while maintaining accessible, character-driven storytelling.
