How Druids Glen Began
Donna Grant, a New York Times bestselling author, launched the Druids Glen series in 2006, marking her debut into the world of historical paranormal romance. Inspired by Scotland’s rich history and folklore, Grant crafted a series that melds the rugged beauty of the Highlands with the mystical traditions of Druids and Fae. Her love for storytelling and fascination with Celtic mythology birthed a saga that’s both intimate and epic, centered on a prophecy that could save or doom Scotland.
The series, originally published by a small e-publisher, gained a loyal following for its unique blend of genres. Grant’s ability to weave romance with supernatural elements set Druids Glen apart, earning praise for its “totally addictive” and “unique and sensual” storytelling. Over time, she reclaimed the rights and relaunched the series, cementing its place in her extensive catalog.
The Heart of Druids Glen
The Druids Glen series spans five core books and a connected novella, each delving into the lives of Druid priestesses and the warriors destined to love them. Highland Mist, the first book, introduces Conall MacInnes, a laird tasked with guarding sacred Druids, and Glenna MacNeil, a priestess tied to a 300-year-old prophecy. Their romance unfolds amidst clan feuds and magical battles, setting the tone for the series’ blend of passion and peril.
Highland Nights follows Fiona Sinclair, a solitary Druid, and Gregor MacLachlan, a mercenary with a dark past, as they journey to Druids Glen while evading a deadly foe. Highland Dawn centers on Moira, another Druid sister, and Dartayous, a warrior, as they confront trust issues and a malevolent force threatening the Fae realm. Highland Magic, the fifth book, explores Frang, an immortal Druid priest, and Kenna, a secret Druid healer, in a tale of sacrifice and redemption. Themes of duty, forbidden love, and self-discovery resonate throughout, wrapped in Grant’s lush prose and vivid Highland settings.
The series’ style is fast-paced yet emotionally rich, with magical elements like Fae interventions and Druid powers adding depth to the historical backdrop. Readers are drawn to the interplay of romance and suspense, where personal desires clash with the weight of destiny, all set against Scotland’s hauntingly beautiful landscapes.
