Publisher Description

Karigan G’ladheon, running away from school, is traveling through a deep forest when a galloping horse pounds up to her, its rider impaled by two black-shafted arrows. With his dying breath, he tells her he is a Green Rider, one of the magical messengers of the King. Before he dies, he makes Karigan swear to deliver the message he’s carrying, and gives her his green coat, with the symbolic brooch of his office. Pursued by unknown assassins, following a path only her horse seems to know, Karigan becomes a legendary Green Rider—for when given to the right person, a Rider’s brooch awakens the magic inside….

"I found this book at the library. It looked interesting and different from much of what I've read and it sure was. I liked the heroine. Her adventures were exciting and not predictable at all. There still remains much mystery and unanswered questions so I look forward to continuing with this series. I believe there are 4 books written so far, I am not sure how many will be in this series. I especially like the strong female roles in this book. The quality of this first book for Kristen just makes me even more excited to keep reading her work as I know she will get better and better as she continues to write. This book is just the beginning of a great writing career for Ms. Britain."

    " This is just one weird book, and not good weird. I don't think I ever figured out what the fuss about, or even what the story was about. I'm certainly not going to read it again to remember, so this one will just have to rest in peace with the rest of the bad books. "

    " As young Karigan ponders her future, she comes across a Green Rider, one of the legendary messengers of the King. When she must deliver the important message, she embarks on a dangerous journey that changes her life forever. The first book in a series, this is a fantastic read that takes you on a thrilling adventure. "

    " This was a fun, fresh read. The story was not predictable, instead it was full of totally side-swiping plot turns. It was compelling, but I was able to put it down because it was like a series of short stories that the heroine had to maneuver. It's a story about a girl running away from school who stumbles upon a dying Green Rider. The king's messenger asks her to complete his delivery. When she grants his dying wish she is thrown into a world of magic, intrigue and evil. She is a realistic reluctant character that I easily relate to. "

    " I couldn't get very far into it before I gave up. The story was interesting, but the manner of storytelling was making me kind of crazy. The author seemed to be insulting my intelligence almost every paragraph. I'd love to know what happens, but I want someone else to tell it. "

About Kristen Britain

Kristen Britain grew up in the Finger Lake region of New York State and published her first book, a cartoon collection called Horses and Horsepeople, at the age of thirteen. After graduating from Ithaca College with a degree in film production, travel beckoned and she began a career as a ranger with the National Park Service.
