The House of Pendray is a five-book historical romance series by Anna Markland, published between 2017 and 2021. The series follows the Pendray family, who have Welsh roots but find their fates tied to the Scottish Highlands. This blend of Welsh and Scottish heritage gives the series a distinctive identity within Markland’s catalog.

Highland Betrayal opens the series, and the subsequent books, including Kingslayer’s Daughter, Highland Jewel, Highland Rising, and Highland Swan, trace different members of the family as they face political intrigue, clan rivalries, and the ever-present threat of English interference. The series spans several years and locations within Scotland, with each book building on the family’s story. At five books, The House of Pendray sits between Markland’s shorter trilogies and her longer Montbryce sagas in scope, giving readers a satisfying arc without the larger commitment of a 15-book series.
