Publisher Description
The long-awaited sequel to Green Rider, First Rider's Call, and The High King's Tomb. Once a simple student, Karigan G'ladheon finds herself in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand when she becomes a legendary Green Rider-one of the magical messengers of the king. Forced by magic to accept a dangerous fate she would never have chosen, headstrong Karigan has become completely devoted to the king and her fellow Riders. But now, an insurrection led by dark magicians threatens to break the boundaries of ancient, evil Blackveil Forest-releasing powerful dark magics that have been shut away for a millennium.

"Okay I am mad as hell. How dare Ms. Britain leave the ending like that. Come on. She never did this before. What now I got to wait 3 to 4 years to read where she left off. Come one. This is not right. Other then the ending. I loved it. I knew it was not going to be the end of the series. I'm sure we have to wait a while longer for that one. I do regret one thing in this series though. Karigan doesn't seem to have a "real" lover. I mean ofcourse her and the king have a romantic pull toward each other. But their stations prevent any open romance to evolve. I am interested in how the author will play this one out. I hate that the king has unoffically been proclaimed married. Where will Karigan fit in with his life now. I really wanted to cry for Karigan in this story. Because it seems that she does a lot of giving of herself and is not getting anything she wants. Everything that happens to her is like fate. Like her path is written for her and she can not have any pleasures for herself. I gave this book four stars just because I was mad all day for the book ending as it did. She better have the next one in the works in a year. I swear!"

Blackveil Listener Reviews

" The books are interesting, but I am beginning to lose faith in Britain's ability to finish this series. I'm starting to think that she just doesn't KNOW how to end it, so she's dragging it out until she dies to get out of the responsibility. "

" I loved it not my favorite. I am looking forward to the next "

" Really like this series but this one has me pulling my hair out! Major cliffhanger ... and this author generally goes 4 years between books. "
— Alycia, 1/19/2014 -
" I couldn't put the book down. This would be 5 stars if the author gave some closure at the ending instead of leaving you wondering what's going to happen. Now I have to wait until the next one is written and published and who knows if that book will have any resolution. "
— Sonja, 1/17/2014 -
" i love this series, but i hate how the author leaves more dangling threads at the end of this book than she resolved from the last book :P "
— Stephanie, 1/17/2014 -
" Whew! Another can't-put-the-book-down addition to this on-going story. DANG! Do I have to wait for the next segment? That will be tough... "
— Mary, 1/16/2014 -
" The story was a bit slow at the beginning but the pace changed as I entered the triple digits in the pages. A nice enough sequel, and now we wait...again! How I loathe the waiting in series of fantasy! "
— Marina, 12/4/2013 -
" Ended on a total cliffhanger! Arg! "
— Janelle, 6/2/2013 -
" I'm tired of cliffhangers. Great series, but come on!! Put these poor characters (and me the reader) out of their/my misery!!! "
— Chloe, 5/30/2013 -
" I enjoyed this series alot, but the first 3 books were a little better. Also I hated the cliff hanger at the end of this book. She takes years to write more books so thats frustrating. "
— Bridget, 5/4/2013 -
" Arghh! When does the next one come out?!? I hate cliffhangers! "
— Cathi, 4/8/2013 -
" I really wish Britain would write these books faster. I've enjoyed this series so far. Its light reading, the chapters are short and the plot keeps moving. The cliffhanger is a bit annoying, especially since we probably won't find out what happens next for another five years. "
— Sally, 3/25/2013 -
" another fabulous book a little upset it wasn't the last one, and up set that she had to put some in appropriate stuff in it I will be using white out. But other than that I absolutely loved it!! "
— Julie, 2/17/2013 -
" Karigan goes into Blackveil with the Eletians to find out what's left of their cities. Necromancer grandma makes life difficult. MASSIVE CLIFFHANGER. Buh! Whyyyyyyyyy? "
— Leah, 2/12/2013 -
" I enjoyed the story but the ending frustrated me to no end! Where's the next book!?!? "
— Soo, 2/1/2013 -
" REALLY enjoyed this one. It reminded me why I liked Book #1 so much. Now I have to wait awhile for the next one to come out... "
— Helen, 1/6/2013 -
" It would have gotten four stars if not for the cliffhanger ending on two of the major plots. A good story with several plot threads, but the book has a beginning, middle, end (of two threads), and cliffhanger ending for two threads. That's all the review you're going to get. "
