See all formats and editions
After her father is killed by Durnin sea raiders, Riona’s simple life in Whelan is forever altered. Named second in line to the Mairead throne, her uncle King Hedrek sends her to a convent for her formal education. Years later, when Riona and her mother are invited to Shea, she knows attending the annual tournament is only an excuse for the journey. Now of age, she must impress her mother, uncle, and potential suitors. Reserved and a bit clumsy by nature, will Riona live up to their lofty expectations?

Branded an outlaw because of his father’s ties with the Durnins, Lord Eamonn longs to wipe his slate clean and resume peaceful trading with Mairead. However, when he arrives, King Hedrek declines to speak with him. Refusing to be ignored, Eamonn enters the tournament, in a desperate bid to win the king’s favor. With his people facing the threat of starvation during the coming winter, what choice does he have?

When Riona learns of his dilemma she is compelled to help Lord Eamonn and his people, despite her family’s disapproval. Should she listen to her heart even if it means rebelling against the king

Three young women, bound by friendship and faith, seek the Lord's will in their lives in The Caragh Chronicles. Each book brings a tale of love and faith in a medieval fantasy novella.

Not a lot of tension, mainly action. Not a lot of character development. Great story for a light read. Enjoyed the faith based lessons in the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overly religious for my liking
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2023
But if you enjoy reading about faith and Christianity, then you may enjoy it. The story itself was good. And I liked the slightly shorter length.

I love it when authors remind us of the power of prayer and of Gods plans for us all through the use of authentic characters and a good storyline. I look forward to reading the next books in this series.

The medieval world holds many dangers where good and faithfulness seem to perish. It's in the gaps of the dark world that love seeps through, bringing healing, hope, and forgiveness. Can Riona be a means of drawing two nations together?

Bravo, Rachel!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Medieval Romance
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2022
Riona’s Promise was a quick and sweet read. It had clean romance and some adventure. Fight scenes were brief and not gory. There were good morals and encouragements in faith that were a bit on the nose but good nevertheless. The book took advantage of its medieval setting to include creative names, castles, jousting, and more. Two other characters are introduced who will feature in later books in the series which leaves one with exciting hints about what comes next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxing read
Reviewed in Canada on March 31, 2024

This was a nice, relaxing read. The old English dialect was unique and charming. The author could have done a better job of building tension before resolving conflicts, but I didn’t mind since real life has enough tension of its own right now.
