Publisher's Summary

Magic, danger, and adventure abound for messenger Karigan G'ladheon in the second book in Kristen Britain's New York Times-bestselling Green Rider fantasy series

Karigan G'ladheon was once a Green Rider, one of the king of Sacoridia's elite magical messengers. In the messenger service, she was caught up in a world of deadly danger, and though she defeated the rogue Eletian who cracked the magical D'Yer Wall—which had protected Sacoridia for a thousand years from the dark influence of Blackveil Forest, and Mornhavon the Black's evil spirit imprisoned within it—she had nonetheless been tainted by his wild magic.

Exhausted in body and spirit, and determined to take control of her own destiny, Karigan returned to her home in Corsa. But even Karigan's stubborn determination is no match for the Rider's call. Ghostly hoofbeats echo in the deep regions of her mind. When she awakes to find herself on horseback, halfway to Sacor City in her nightgown, she finally gives in.

Karigan returns to the court, only to find the Green Riders weakened and diminished. Rider magic has become unreliable, and she herself has ghostly visions of Lil Ambriodhe, First Rider, and founder of the Green Rider corps.

But why is the First Rider appearing to Karigan? And will Karigan be able to seek the help of a woman who has been dead for a thousand years?

Great second book

I absolutely love this series and in this second book we really see the main character grow in strength and maturity. I loved learning more about the Riders with the characters and seeing their pride in the rider call.

Descriptive Writing

overall I enjoyed the story and felt a connection to the characters. often my attention would be distracted by useless descriptions that seemed only to serve word count and not forward the plot. an exciting event would be unfolding and the author would pause to explain the history of tapestries on the wall and the decorating style of a grandmother who was long dead. meanwhile dark magic creatures are wrecking havoc. as for the performance, the reader captured the highlands of Scotland, and did her best to give characters life
