A fenlander by birth and resident at various times of Cornwall, York, Madrid, Montreal, Granada and Valencia, Duncan Harper was always fascinated by the Dark Ages, medieval history and Northern European and Scandinavian myths and legends. After student backpacking in the Americas he became a lawyer in the UK, and following that a translator and lecturer in Spain. ‘Revenants’, his first novella, was e-published in early 2014, followed by 'Witch of the Fall', the first of four novels set in the alternative fantasy world of Acadia. He is a keen plant-grower, photographer, filmgoer and supporter of Oxfam and Amnesty International. ...more

“Here grew willows and alders, their trunks twisted like giants’ sinews. Around them bark lichen bloomed blue-white in the darkness. It felt like a good place, where there was old magic.”
Duncan Harper, Witch of the Fall

“I don’t think I would be very good at killing,” Merla said.
“To be honest, nor do I. But you may have to.”
A disturbing thought came to Merla.
“Faye,” she asked, “have you killed a person?”
There was a moment’s silence.
“Let’s just say that I am familiar with the techniques.”
Duncan Harper, Witch of the Fall

“I don’t think I believe in any god,” Merla said. “I think we make our own destiny. I think religion is superstition. Does that shock you?”
Agata shook her head and smiled. “If the Goddess is kind, then she will allow you your doubts, and embrace believers and unbelievers alike. If she is not, then the witches are mistaken, and we should not be worshipping her anyway.”

“The wyvern swooped, but it was not to rend and tear but rather to bank and stare with one curious beady eye at the bodies of the minds that had touched hers in a way that no human had dared to do for hundreds of years. Such a slender and delicate creature, the wyvern thought, and so young, only a child in her reckoning, and yet with so much power.”
Duncan Harper, Witch of the Fall

“Colm was a good sleeper. But if there was one sound at night that should wake him, and any sensible man who loved his family, it was the barking of dogs.
The noise was coming from the village. It was not just one or two dogs, but surely every mangy cur and mongrel that lived there. Something was abroad, and in this time of the dying of the year, when fell creatures roamed the countryside as hunger began to bite, it was not likely to be anything good.”
Duncan Harper, Witch of the Fall
