Duncan

About This Audiobook

Toni Goode’s *Duncan* is a hauntingly beautiful blend of myth, romance, and tragedy, where a 500-year-old Highland warrior is doomed to relive the same heartbreak in an endless loop. Each cycle begins with hope and love, only to crash into the same devastating loss, leaving Duncan—and the listener—drowning in despair. Goode’s prose is rich with the grit of ancient Scotland, the ache of unspoken love, and the eerie weight of fate that refuses to release its grip. The story isn’t just a time-loop drama; it’s a meditation on grief, resilience, and whether any of us are truly free from our pasts.

Narrator George Ellington breathes life into Duncan’s torment with a voice that’s both gravelly and tender. His delivery shifts seamlessly between the warrior’s raw fury at the curse and the quiet, exhausted resignation of a man who’s lived the same tragedy too many times to count. The production is crisp, with subtle atmospheric sounds that ground the listener in Duncan’s world without overpowering the narration. Goode’s writing is lyrical but never pretentious, making *Duncan* a standout for fans of historical fiction who crave emotional depth over rugged action.
