Hi, thanks for visiting my page. I’m Duncan, a fantasy and science fiction author from Ireland. I love to blend my passion for Medieval and Renaissance history with the freedom of fantasy environments to create fast paced heroic fantasy adventures with compelling characters and high stakes—exactly the types of stories that I love to read, so I hope you’ll like them too.

You can find more of my online hangouts and my work at the links below. Don’t forget to sign up for my news letter if you want to keep up to date on all my news and new releases!

I’m delighted to announce my most recent trilogy with Tor, Dragonslayer - a heroic fantasy tale about redemption, revenge, and megalomania. Oh, and dragons. Plenty of dragons! ...more

Autumn Updates

Hey folks,

Apologies for yet another extended absence from my website! Rest assured that I’ve made (yet another!) resolution to update more regularly!

I have no worthwhile excuse beyond saying that distractions have been coming far too easily over the past number of months, but after the last few weks I’ve managed to get myself into a more focussed and productive frame of mind. Work on a number of p

Duncan Hamilton answered James Smith's question: Is Soren's "moment" ability the same as "Jorundyr's gift"? If so, how come Wulfric's hands shake while Soren see's the blue glow? Does the ability come with different side effects to different body types or perhaps climates? This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Quotes by Duncan M. Hamilton (?)

“Only a very special type of man can love one woman to the exclusion of everyone else. To the exclusion of everything else. To carry her memory across half the world and back again because of it, knowing that death is likely all that awaits him.’ He paused, purely for effect. ‘A very special type of man indeed.”
― Duncan M. Hamilton, The Wolf of the North

“He half expected deformities, crazed, manic behaviour; something, anything, that would mark them out as being his natural enemy. He was disappointed. It was more difficult to hate someone who looked just like the man who lived in the next house.”
― Duncan M. Hamilton, The Wolf of the North

“In his experience, humans treated the indigent in one of two ways: either they ignored them completely, or they behaved as if they were vermin”
― Duncan M. Hamilton, Knight of the Silver Circle
