První kniha série Zelený jezdec. Karigan G'ladheon, dcera kupce, je vyloučena z renomované školy, protože se postavila tyranidě ze strany rozjíveného aristokratického synka. Na své cestě hlubokým lesem pak narazí na umírajícího muže s koněm, který jí svěří nebezpečné poslání. Jedná se totiž o Zeleného jezdce, jednoho z elitních královských poslů. Zpráva, kterou Karigan z posledních sil předá, však skrývá strašlivé tajemství a vystaví dívku smrtelně nebezpečným nepřátelům z našeho světa, monstrům a temnému mágovi, který si zotročuje duše mrtvých. Stíhána nebezpečím ze všech stran bude muset mladá nepravděpodobná hrdinka dokázat, že si Zelený jezdec svého dědice vybral správně. Pokud selže, padne celý svět do temnoty... Kristen Britain napsala skvělou epickou fantasy, v níž balancuje celý svět na ostří zkázy a na každé stránce čeká dech beroucí dobrodružství!
A captivating story, an ancient evil, and a mission that will lead Karigan through time itself ...
Karigan G'ladheon returns to the Green Riders, the magical messengers of the king, who desperately need her help in defeating an ancient evil, long dormant, that has just reawakened, determined to destroy the world.
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.
Following her confrontation with Mornhavon, Green Rider Karigan G'ladheon lands in a sealed stone sarcophagus from which she must escape. And should she succeed, will she be walking straight into a trap created by Mornhavon himself?
Zachary Davriel Hillander, High King of Sacoridia, reflects on the sacrifices he has made for his realm, including his freedom to love. When an embassy from Eletia proposes a mission to find an old ally in the north, he is dismayed to learn that the chosen Sacoridian to accompany their guide is Karigan G'ladheon, the woman he loves but cannot have. Karigan has just returned from a grim future where Sacoridia is under a tyrant's rule, and she is still recovering from her trauma while being haunted by castle ghosts. Despite his reluctance to send her away, Zachary recognizes her as the best candidate for the mission. Their journey north brings them closer to enemy territory, where the forces of the Second Empire, led by the necromancer Grandmother, pose a significant threat. She unleashes a wild elemental spirit to attack Zachary and his wife, Queen Estora. Although they initially fend off the creature, it abducts Zachary, taking his form and place beside Estora. Left alone and pregnant with twins, Estora must prepare for the impending conflict from her bedchamber. Meanwhile, Karigan and her companions face escalating dangers as they venture north. When caught in a battle, Karigan must rescue her king before falling into a deadly trap set by Grandmother, which could grant the Second Empire the power to control the dead and unleash hellish demons.
