The MacLomain: A New Beginning by Sky Purington is a nine-book subseries published between 2014 and 2018 that takes an unusual approach to series structure. It interweaves the five novels from The MacLomain: Next Generation with four new “Highland Laird” books: Sworn to a Highland Laird, Taken by a Highland Laird, Promised to a Highland Laird, and Avenged by a Highland Laird. The result is an alternating reading order that tells a broader story than either set of books does alone.
The Highland Laird novels feature new heroines and heroes while drawing on the events and characters from the Next Generation books. This structure rewards readers who follow the recommended order, as each pair of books builds on the last. For readers already familiar with the Next Generation novels, the four Highland Laird books add fresh storylines that expand the MacLomain world in new directions.
