WHISPERS IN THE HIGHLAND MIST SAGA

A Scottish Werewolf Romance Series by MK Dalton

SERIES OVERVIEW

In the untamed Scottish Highlands of the early 1800s, ancient magic still runs through bloodlines, and the most powerful clans harbor deadly secrets. The MacKenzie pack has ruled these mountains for centuries, their wolf spirits bound to the land by blood and moonlight. But when outside forces threaten to expose their supernatural nature, love becomes both salvation and sacrifice.

Core Themes: Forbidden love, ancient magic, clan politics, loyalty, transformation, destiny, and redemption.

BOOK 1: WHISPERS IN THE HIGHLAND MIST

Torin MacKenzie & Lady Amelia Lockwood

When Lady Amelia Lockwood's reckless morning ride leads to a dangerous fall in the Scottish Highlands, she never expects to be rescued by the mysterious and formidable Torin MacKenzie, a clan chief whose dark reputation precedes him. After being discovered alone with him, she finds herself forced into marriage by royal decree—a marriage he openly refuses until threatened with the loss of his clan's lands.

But the MacKenzie clan harbors dangerous secrets, and Torin's resistance to their marriage hides deeper wounds than the loss of his first wife two years ago. Despite his determination to keep his new bride at arm's length, the undeniable attraction between them threatens to shatter his carefully maintained control.

As Amelia adjusts to life in the wild highlands, she finds herself drawn into a world of ancient traditions and mysteries she never knew existed. The clan watches her with knowing eyes, while rival clans circle like wolves in the night. With each passing day, she feels herself falling deeper for a man who claims he'll never love again—even as his actions betray his words.

But when ancient enemies threaten to expose the clan's darkest secret, Amelia must decide if she's strong enough to accept the truth about the man she's grown to love—a truth that could either bind them together forever or tear them violently apart.

"Love, like the highlands, cannot be tamed."

BOOK 2: SHADOWS OVER THE GLEN

Rowan MacKenzie & Sorcha MacLeod

Rowan MacKenzie has always been the pack's enforcer—the brother who walks in shadows to protect those he loves. Haunted by battles that left scars on both body and soul, he's resigned himself to a life of duty without joy. Until a mysterious healer arrives at their gates under cover of darkness, carrying wounds that mirror his own.

Sorcha MacLeod possesses a rare gift—magic blood that can heal even the most grievous injuries. But she's also harboring a deadly secret: she was sent by a rival clan to spy on the MacKenzies and discover the source of their supernatural strength. What she doesn't expect is to find herself drawn to the brooding warrior who guards the clan's darkest truths.

As ancient magic stirs in the highland mists and old enemies gather their forces, Rowan and Sorcha must navigate the treacherous waters of clan politics and forbidden desire. Her healing touch could cure the pack's greatest weakness—or expose them to their enemies. When forced to choose between love and loyalty, they'll discover that some wounds run deeper than flesh, and some secrets are worth dying to protect.

But in the shadows over the glen, trust is a luxury neither can afford, and love might be the most dangerous magic of all.

"In darkness, the heart sees clearest."

BOOK 3: THE HIGHLAND HOWL

Lachlan MacKenzie & Lady Evangeline Ashford

Lachlan MacKenzie has always been the diplomat of the family—refined, charming, and secretly obsessed with the ancient texts that hold the key to their pack's origins. While his brothers focus on protecting their territory, Lachlan searches for answers to the curse that binds them to their wolf nature. His research leads him to a dangerous discovery: a prophecy that could either free his pack or destroy them all.

Lady Evangeline Ashford arrives in the Highlands as a recently widowed English noblewoman, seeking solitude to heal from her husband's mysterious death. But Evangeline harbors secrets of her own—she's a practicing witch whose powers have grown dangerously strong since her husband's passing. Drawn to the MacKenzie lands by visions she doesn't understand, she finds herself inexplicably connected to the scholarly clan chief who seems to see straight through her carefully constructed facades.

As they work together to unravel the mystery of an ancient bloodline prophecy, Evangeline and Lachlan discover their fates are more intertwined than either imagined. Her magic and his wolf spirit seem destined to either trigger a transformation that could free all Highland packs—or unleash a power that will doom them to eternal darkness.

When rival clans unite to exploit the prophecy for their own ends, Lachlan and Evangeline must risk everything on love, magic, and the hope that some destinies are worth the price they demand.

"Magic recognizes magic, soul calls to soul."

BOOK 4: THE MOON'S HEIR

Isla MacKenzie & Kieran MacLaren

Young Isla MacKenzie has always been different—gifted with visions and an uncanny ability to communicate with the spirit realm. As the youngest of the MacKenzie siblings, she's been protected from the harsh realities of pack politics and clan warfare. But on her eighteenth birthday, ancient magic awakens within her, marking her as the prophesied Moon's Heir—a seer capable of binding the old magics that could unite or destroy all Highland wolf packs.

Kieran MacLaren was raised to hate the MacKenzies, trained from childhood to avenge his father's death at their hands. As the heir to a rival clan, he's spent years planning the perfect revenge. But when he infiltrates MacKenzie lands and encounters Isla during her coming-of-age trials, everything he thought he knew is shattered. The enemy he was taught to destroy might be the only person who can heal the wounds that have festered between their clans for generations.

As Isla's powers grow stronger with each full moon, she begins experiencing visions of a great war coming to the Highlands—one that will force every pack to choose between unity and extinction. With Kieran's help, she must master abilities that threaten to overwhelm her human side while navigating a love that could either bridge the gap between their warring clans or provide the spark that ignites a supernatural civil war.

In a land where the moon's power runs as deep as clan loyalty, Isla must decide whether to embrace her destiny as the Moon's Heir or forge a new path that honors both love and duty.

"Some destinies are written in starlight, others in blood."
