Book Description:
Karigan G'ladahon has fled from school following a fight which would surely lead to her expulsion. As she makes her way through the deep forest, 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 legendary magical messengers of the King, and makes Karigan swear to deliver their message he's carrying, giving her his green coat, with its symbolic broach of office. This promise given to a dying man changes Karigan's life forever. Pursued by unknown assassins, following a path only her horse seems to know, she unwittingly finds herself in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand.

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 . . .
