Series background & context

Daughters of Avalon is Tanya Anne Crosby's historical fantasy romance series set in the same broad Scottish world as her Highland books, but with a stronger pull toward legend, prophecy, and royal destiny. It brings together familiar Highland families, new generations, and the lingering force of Avalon.

The King's Favorite opens the series and introduces a new conflict shaped by court politics and dangerous attraction. The story moves beyond a single clan's immediate survival toward questions of kingship, inheritance, and the people who may influence Scotland's future. It is a good entry point for readers who like their historical romance with a little magic around the edges.

The Holly & the Ivy returns to the MacKinnon clan for a Yuletide reunion, where old friends and newer members of the family meet under one roof. It offers warmth and connection, but it also keeps the series' larger threads alive. Later books, including Fire Song, Lord of Shadows, The Cornish Princess, The Queen's Huntsman, and The Forgotten Prince, continue the expanding story of hidden pasts, contested futures, and people shaped by a legacy they cannot easily escape.

The Avalon element gives the series its special flavor. Prophecy and old belief matter, but they do not replace the human drama. Characters still have to choose whom to trust, whether to accept a duty, and how much they are willing to sacrifice for family or country.

This is best read as a connected saga, not a group of entirely separate romances. The stakes widen as the books continue, and familiar names gain new importance over time.

Start with The King's Favorite. Readers who have already read The Highland Brides and Guardians of the Stone will spot more connections, but the opening novel provides the essential groundwork for this magical Scottish family saga.
