Never will be used after helping verb will, because it's first use of conditional sentence.

'You will never' is correct.

"never" is the keyword for simple present tense, so we should not use it for "future tense".

Sumanth said:   1 decade ago
Never actually refers here it wouldn't get back.

Then why should we use back again in sentence.

I thought it should be: If you were to lend him your book, you will not see it. Does that sound right?

Monisha said:   1 decade ago
Yes @Utsav is right according to that the never in this sentence should be present before the verb get you will never get it back.

Utsav said:   1 decade ago

Exceptions are the verb be and modal verbs.
