 Tinna believes in the sanctity of a promise. But things never quite work out the way we expect them to.  Sometimes, a promise is not so simple to fulfill. Aside from being forced to resolve such minor issues like figuring out why legions of dragons are destroying human cities, how to stop the destruction; and how to find her way home from somewhere she’s never been; Tinna must also remember that she made a promise to a little boy.

Tinna comes to the north to escape persecution in her own land and finds Taneth, the child Hanru, and the village of Thamatoc where she is welcomed in a way she's never known before. She is happy here; comfortable enough to consider love, and even to make promises. However in the act of pursuing this promise, Tinna and her companion are inadvertently swept up into a succession of events that will take them across their world.  Tinna becomes embroiled in a strange one-sided war, where she becomes burdened with a secret no single person should ever bear alone. 

Tinna has finally found a place to belong, and people she can truly love.  Can she protect them from the hideous truth? But more importantly, will she ever find her way back to them?

Tinna’s Promise is a sweeping fantasy adventure with the requisite beasts and bastions of a fantasy world. However Tinna’s Promise also has characters with frailties and flaws; reflections of our own world woven into the story. It’s about simple things; like keeping a promise, and about complicated things; like accepting change, and growth. Follow Tinna as she discovers friendship, belonging and love; as she uses her wit and her strength to hold onto it.

  "My attention was captured from the beginning to the end of this book!  The author, Miranda Mayer, knows how to spin a great tale...." -- Reader Views.

"Tinna's Promise is a compelling story-a very richly detailed fantasy, that like the secrets Tinna and her companions discover, is a multilayered tapestry, with intrigue hidden under each warp and woof. Debut author Miranda Mayer executes a monumental world-building undertaking, with success, keeping the threads of her tapestry straight, and the plot lines understandable. Watching the moral and emotional evolution of her rather self-centered protagonist into a person whose soul and spirit begin to rule over her instinctive reactions is a joy."-- Euro-Reviews

"First-time author Miranda Mayer takes an ambitious leap into creating an original fantasy world. Her characters have realistic flaws, and the story has a gritty, human quality to it that makes it one of the more exceptional fantasy books I’ve read this year. -- Odyssey Reviews

"The descriptions of the cities and places Tinna and Rhoa pass through capture the imagination and made me feel like I was right there with the women. I loved the complexity of the world we are introduced to as the women travel across the country to get back to their home." -- Front Street Reviews/Confessions of a Literary Persuasion
