A novel by

 
 
Romance and suspense share the spotlight as award-winning author Linda Windsor continues her satisfying saga of the Christian Celts in Riona. Riona plans to make a life for herself in the church, but finds her dream shattered when she saves three orphans from slavery. To adopt the children and offer them a legitimate family, Riona must marry the handsome warrior Kieran, who is unjustly accused of murder. Although Riona is the sequel to Maire, it can be easily read as a standalone title. The glossary of Celtic terminology provides a helpful reference, as Windsor peppers her writing with unusual terms such as brat (outer cloak or wrap), porringer (a low bowl), and slige (a main road). Historical aficionados who like a spiritual bent to their stories and readers with a penchant for a good romantic yarn will enjoy this tale of primitive Ireland. --Cindy Crosby
