Search - Green Rider (Green Rider, Bk 1)

This is the 1st book in a first rate series.

On her days-long journey home, Karigan trudges through the immense forest called Green Cloak. She is leaving school, or, more accurately, she has been asked to leave because she challenged a noble's child in the practice ring (and won!) As she trudges along, she tries to decide what her future will hold now that school is no longer an option. But before her ponderings can become a plan, a galloping horse nearly knocks her down, the rider impaled by black arrows. The rider is one of the messengers of the king, a Green Rider, and he charges her to carry out his mission for him--the mission that has just killed him . . .
