Kristen Britain returns to the “lively fantasy” (SF Site) world of the Green Rider.
A thousand years ago the armies of the Arcosian Empire, led by Mornhavon the Black, crossed the great sea and tried to conquer the land of Sacoridia —and during Karigan G’ladheon’s early years as a Green Rider, Mornhavon’s spirit, sensing weakness in his prison walls and seeking vengeance, began to wake. With the ghostly help of the First Rider, Karigan had managed to drive off the spirit of Mornhavon—but for how long, no one could know. And now, the descendants of those Arcosians are ready to strike, reaching out to claim the land their forebears had tried to conquer. Worse, these vengeful enemies had spent generations honing their powers of dark magic—a force against which the Sacoridians had no defense….
“Action-packed...Britain keeps the excitement high from beginning to end, balancing epic magical battles with the humor and camaraderie of Karigan and her fellow riders.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Combines familiar characters with new allies and enemies as it builds to a crucial point in the history of the land...[A] finely honed, skillfully crafted tale.”
—Library Journal
“A healthy dose of old-fashioned adventure.”
—Locus
“Britain provides plenty of action…and a good command of character.”
—Booklist
“Accessible writing, charming characters, and some pretty entertaining sword-and-sorcery action.”
—Fantasy Book Critic
