Alix E. Harrow's novel The Thousand Deaths of Una the Eternal delves into the contrast between the official legend of a national heroine and the truth of her life. This fantasy novel, which combines elements of time travel, memory, and historical storytelling, won the 2026 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel and was also a finalist for the Hugo Award. It will be published in France as part of the Le Rayon imaginaire collection, translated by Thibaud Eliroff. The story follows Owen Mallory, a former soldier turned historian, who traces Una’s life in archives and then in the past itself, uncovering a woman very different from the national icon. Both characters become trapped in a time loop, forced to reenact the kingdom's founding narrative repeatedly. The novel questions who writes history, what happens to the erased voices, and the consequences when legend contradicts reality.
