The MacLomain Universe by Sky Purington is a long-running collection of time travel romances set primarily in the Scottish Highlands. With thirteen books published between 2007 and 2019, the series follows members of the MacLomain clan across centuries. Modern-day heroines find themselves pulled back in time to meet Highland warriors, and each book delivers a complete romance while building a larger story about the clan’s magical heritage.

The series includes several internal sub-series and story arcs. Early entries like Fate’s Monolith and Destiny’s Denial established the supernatural framework, while the Highland Defiance trilogy and the “of the Highlander” books (Mark, Vow, Wrath, Faith, and Plight) expanded the cast considerably. Viking King and Viking Heart add Norse elements to the mix, and Highland Yule closes out the collection with a holiday-themed entry. For readers who enjoy sprawling romantic fantasy sagas with recurring families and time-hopping heroines, this is where the MacLomain story began.
