Zusatztext Praise for the  Green Rider  series: “ Green Rider  is a wonderfully captivating heroic fantasy adventure.... Kristen Britain’s likable heroine and fast-paced plot kept me eagerly turning pages.  This is the rarest of finds: a truly enjoyable read .” —Terry Goodkind! #1  New York Times -bestselling author of The Sword of Truth series "Kristen Britain is one of the most astonishing fantasy writers working today. She has created a  richly imagined world where magic is as real as courage ! and where a young woman's heroism can change the course of history." ?Tess Gerritsen! author of  The Apprentice "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 "Readers of epic fantasy and series followers will want this  finely honed! skillfully crafted tale ."? Library Journal “The intermittent sense of foreboding is offset by a  healthy dose of old-fashioned adventure —kidnappings! a noble thief! near drowning! divine visitations! ghosts! a visit to an upscale brothel! and some very bad knife throwing—that provides a satisfying temporary conclusion despite this being very much a middle novel with serious nastiness still looming.”  —Locus  “The gifted Ms. Britain writes with ease and grace as she creates a  mesmerizing fantasy  ambiance and an appealing heroine quite free of normal clichés.” — RT Reviews   “This captivating fantasy is filled with adventure! action! and heroes. Karigan grows tremendously as a person and in the end finds her own place in this world. The characters! including minor ones! are well-developed and the plot is complex enough to get the reader thinking.  This is a real page-turner .” — VOYA  "Kristen Britain  writes so beautifully that I never want to have to put her books down ." ?Fantasy Book Review Informationen zum Autor Kristen Britain is the author of the New York Times bestselling Green Rider series.

Klappentext Magic, danger, and adventure abound for messenger Karigan G'ladheon in the fourth book in Kristen Britain's New York Times-bestselling Green Rider fantasy series • "First-rate fantasy." -Library Journal Over a millennium ago, Mornhavon the Black, heir to the Arcosian Empire, crossed the great sea hoping to conquer Sacoridia. Mornhavon and his armies were defeated-but not before their general had resorted to desperate, dark magic that rendered his twisted spirit immortal. Finally, Mornhavon was captured and imprisoned in Blackveil Forest, and the forest's perimeter was sealed by the magical D'Yer Wall. In the many centuries since, knowledge of magic has disappeared from Sacoridia due to the fear and prejudice of a people traumatized by the memory of Mornhavon's terrifying sorceries. Even the protective magic that created and maintained the D'Yer Wall has been lost, and the once-impermaeable barrier has been breached, allowing Blackveil's malignant influence to seep into the lands beyond once again. Karigan G'ladheon is a Green Rider-a seasoned member of the elite messenger corps of King Zachary of Sacoridia. But Karigan is no ordinary Rider, for she can traverse the barriers of time and space. Because of this extraordinary ability, she was able to transport the spirit of Mornhavon into the future, buying precious time for her country. During the window of relative safety, King Zachary decides to send Karigan and a small contingent of scouts, accompanied by a small group of Eletians-a magical race...
