Hi Elizabeth 🙂
1. The Titans were deities, the children of the Goddess Gaia and the God Uranus. There were 57 Titans and Titanesses ,The most important of the Titan gods were the twelve Uranides (Cronus, Oceanus, Iapetus, Hyperion, Crius, Coeus, Rhea, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Themis and Mnemosyne) and the four Iapetionides (Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus and Menoetius). The Titans were an elder generation of gods who ruled the cosmos before the Olympians gods came to power. They were responsible for the original ordering of time and the establishment of fixed heavenly cycles. Eventually the were defeated by Zeus & punished accordingly, ending the Golden Age.
2. I saw the shiny new cover for Forbidden Highlander coming out 5/25 /10. Read the blurbs & LOVE ALL the covers & blurbs.
MORE books for my TBR list!

2. I went and checked Donna’s site and I learned I need to read these books 🙂 They sound great.
Love the covers especially the new one for Wicked Highlander.
Comment

2. Each warrior highlander holds a warrior god within him
I loved Dangerous Highlander – can hardly wait for Fallon’s book!!!
Comment
1. In Greek mythology, the Titans were a race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia and Uranus, that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. They were the gods pre-Olympians. (And most of the Olympian’s parents…)
2. I “learned” that I love the cover to the third book most 😀 And that t here are quote “evil Druids” in the books. Who can resist that? Along with teleportation as a power?!!? Count me in.
Comment
a) The Titans were the elder gods who ruled before the Olympian gods came to age and defied them in the “Battle of the Titans” (I have always found it interesting that even though Zeus was the son of Cronos–son of Gaia and Uranus and ruler of the Titans–, Zeus himself is considered the first Olympic god)
b) My head is spinning a bit! I learned that there seems to be a rather complex world building behind the books–have you read the list of characters? I’m intrigued by the premise set in the Beginning page (read: I have all sorts of questions)
Comment
Hi Elisabeth!
oh I got fantastic news today – I preordered Marked and it’s already available by The Bookdepository.com and on the way to me 😀 *wohooo*
1. wikipedia says: In Greek mythology, the Titans (Greek: Τιτάν – Ti-tan; plural: Τιτᾶνες – Ti-tânes) were a race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia and Uranus, that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. 😉
2. I’ve learned that my dark sword warrior is Lucan MacLeod – don’t know him yet, but will def check this out *gg* Donna says about him: Brother to Quinn and Fallon. He is the strongest of the brothers, the one who learned to control his god and the frightening powers given to him. He shoulders responsibility with ease, sacrificing all for his brothers. He never stops to wonder what will happen if he has to choose between his brothers and the love he’s longed to embrace. – oh wow, that sounds like the perfect man 😀
Comment
Thank heavens for Wikipedia! Here’s what it says….In Greek mythology, the Titans (Greek: Τιτάν – Ti-tan; plural: Τιτᾶνες – Ti-tânes) were a race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia and Uranus, that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. In the first generation of twelve Titans the males were Oceanus, Hyperion, Coeus, Cronus, Crius and Iapetus and the females were Mnemosyne, Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, Rhea and Themis. The second generation of Titans consisted of Hyperion’s children Eos, Helios, and Selene; Coeus’s daughters Leto and Asteria; Iapetus’s sons Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius; and Crius’s sons Astraeus, Pallas, and Perses. Their role as Elder Gods was overthrown by a race of younger gods, the Olympians, in the Titanomachy (“Battle with the Titans”) which effected a mythological paradigm shift that the Greeks may have borrowed from the Ancient Near East.
And on Donna Grant’s website, what I found most interesting was that each warrior has the power of the same god in them that gives each of them immortality and special abilities (like teleportation, control over darkness and shadows, and control over animals).

1. The Titans of the first generation are the aunts, uncles, and parents of the Olympian gods and goddesses. Thus, the Titans of Greek mythology are the twelve children of Gaia and Uranus.
2. After visiting Donna’s website I learned that she has 6 books scheduled for the Dark Sward Series. I also took the Warrior quiz and found the warrior for me is Galen Shaw. YUM 🙂
