Highland Mist by Donna Grant is the first book in the Druids Glen series. Laird Connall MacInness was born into a clan that was charged with guarding the sacred Druids. A duty that was centuries old, he takes it seriously until his sister, a Druid priestess, goes missing and the very Druids he was protecting refused to help find her. When another Druid priestess is placed into his hands for safekeeping, Connall is torn between his duty to protect the Druids and his need to avenge his sister. Glenna MacNeil only wants to be free, to find a purpose for her life. When she is told to look for the dark laird that would free her, she eagerly goes with Connall. What she doesn’t realize is an ancient prophecy has been set in motion that will change the course of their lives and the future of Scotland.
Highland Mist is a fast paced, entertaining story mixing magical lore, clan feuds, and the mystical settings of the Scottish Highlands. Once I got into the story, I could not put the book down. I enjoyed the main characters, Connall and Glenna as individuals and as a couple. Their personal demons, their struggles between duty and desire and their electric chemistry was powerful and engaging. I even enjoyed the side characters, especially the mysterious mercenary Gregor. I am looking forward to reading about his past and how his storyline plays out. Overall, I enjoyed Highland Mist and I am looking forward to the rest of the series. There was mild spice but great romantic moments. I was reminded of another great mystical Highland series of Karen Marine Moning with the mystical and magical elements. If you enjoy romances set in the Scottish Highlands, I recommend Highland Mist.
Highland Mist is available in paperback, eBook and audiobook
