Death In Harmony

No one will take her child from her — it is always best to run but, to defend the innocent, sometimes you must fight.

Flin knows stories. She knows songs. Give her an instrument and she’ll play it. She can lead dances slow and dances fast, make grown men and women weep, make them laugh. Her teacher told her she was the best he had ever seen. But all Flin wants is to find the home she lost.

She certainly did not mean to have a baby.

Now alone in the world but for Kadan, Flin knows almost constant fear, but she will never give up. Somewhere, in a high village deep in the woods, far away from the big cities, her family — and safety — await. Nothing will stop her: not the ghosts in the mountains, not wolves or lions, not magic, man, or death itself.

And nothing will take her baby. Not again.


Set at two pivotal points, Death In Harmony weaves together strands of Flin’s life, connected by her powerful determination, her will to survive, and the need to protect Kadan, no matter the cost — and the cost can be very high indeed.

About the author

Alexander M Crow

     I was born in 1977, one of the micro-generation of people who experienced an analogue childhood and digital adulthood. Sometimes called Xennials, sometimes ‘The Star Wars Generation’, this duality had a definite impact on how I see the world.
     I am Scottish. Technically, I was born in England, in a now dead and disappeared county, but my family moved to the far northern islands of Orkney when I was eight and I grew up there. Scotland remains the closest thing I have to a home nation.  
     I write for a sort-of-living and travel and live in places where the small amount of money I make from my words goes further. This feeds into my work, new experiences and cultures adding extra flavour and detail. Rather than the oft-derided “Digital Nomad” tag, I prefer the more Snufkinesque “Globally Feral”. It fits. I am not a travel writer, but a writer who travels.
