How Dark Warriors Began
Inspired by her love for Scotland’s history and mythology, Donna Grant launched the Dark Warriors series in 2012 as a spin-off from her acclaimed Dark Sword books. The series emerged from Grant’s fascination with Celtic lore, particularly the idea of warriors imbued with ancient gods. Set against the backdrop of Scotland’s rolling hills and modern cities, Dark Warriors blends historical roots with contemporary stakes, creating a unique paranormal romance saga. Grant’s travels to Scotland fueled her vivid settings, making every castle and glen feel alive with magic.
The Heart of Dark Warriors
The Dark Warriors series spans eight novels and a novella, each weaving romance and action around a warrior cursed with a god’s power. Key titles include Midnight’s Master, where Logan Hamilton, a time-traveling Highlander, meets Druid Gwynn Austin to fight an ancient evil; Midnight’s Lover, following Duncan MacLeod’s fiery romance with a modern woman; Midnight’s Seduction, exploring a warrior’s forbidden love; and Midnight’s Warrior, where Ramsey MacDonald, a Druid-warrior hybrid, protects a fugitive Druid named Tara.
Themes of love, redemption, and destiny pulse through the series, set in a world where Druids wield magic and warriors battle inner demons. Grant’s style merges steamy romance with high-stakes fantasy, grounded by Scotland’s timeless allure. From ancient curses to modern-day struggles, the series balances heart-pounding action with emotional depth, making each book a standalone gem within a larger tapestry.
