On her long journey home from school after a fight which will surely lead to her expulsion, Karigan G'ladheon ponders her future as she trudges through the immense forest called Green Cloak. But her thoughts are interrupted by the clattering of hooves as a galloping horse bursts from the woods, the rider slumped over his mount's neck, impaled by two black-shafted arrows. As the young man lies dying on the road, he tells Karigan that he is a Green Rider, one of the legendary messengers of the king, and that he bears a "life and death" message for King Zachary. He begs Karigan to carry his message, warning her not to read it, and when she reluctantly agrees, he makes her swear on his sword to complete his mission "for love of country." As he bestows upon her the golden winged-horse brooch which is the symbol of his office, he whispers on his dying breath, "Beware the shadow man. " Karigan's promise changes her life forever. Pursued by unknown assassins, following a path only her horse seems to know, and accompanied by the silent specter of the original messenger, she herself becomes a legendary Green Rider. Caught up in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand, Karigan is hounded by dark beings bent on seeing that the message, and its reluctant carrier, never reach their destination.

Kristen Britain Books In Order. Kristen Britain is a popular author of the science fiction and fantasy genres. She lives in the United States and is well known for writing down the Green Rider novel series. As a child, Kristen grew up in the Finger Lakes area in State, United States. It is the same place where she wrote the first novel of her life at the age of 9, which was a fantasy tale set under the sea and featuring herself as the main character as well as her friends. At the age of 13, Kristen published her first book, which was titled Horses and Horsepeople and was a cartoon collection. After completing her school studies, Kristen enrolled herself at the and graduated with a degree in film production along with a minor in creative writing, in the year 1987. During a visit to the Women’s Rights National Historical Park, Kristen indulged into a conversation with a ranger. The conversation inspired her so much that she began working for the in the year 1988. Eventually, Kristen went on to receive her first job as a seasonal ranger at the Clara Barton National Historic Site situated in Maryland. During the time of the publication of the first novel of the Green Rider series, Kristen was working as a full time park ranger at the Acadia National Park. Her experience as a ranger and the beautiful places at the historical sites helped her to develop the plots of her novels. In the same way, The Acadia National Park inspired her to draw the landscape of Sacoridia. She continued to work as a park ranger and in the meantime kept writing the plots of her novels. This way she managed to have two professions at the same time. As a ranger, Kristen got the chance of working in a variety of historical and natural settings starting from 300 feet below the land surface up to 13,000 feet above the sea level. She was involved in the studies of the textile mills of the industrial revolution of America as well as the residential places of the great American freedom fighters who helped to change the course of the history of America. As of today, Kristen lives in her adobe house situated in the desert regions of New Mexico along with her lizards and hummingbirds, whom she loves to feed and nurture. She spends most of her time in her house, working as a full time writer. In her free time, Kristen likes to pursue her interests in cartoon illustrations of dogs and cats, playing guitar and reading. She is also an adventurous person and likes to explore the exciting places around her home. People can find her often paddling in still water or moving through the woods for mountain summits or even just alone on the rocks on the shore and listening to music, birdwatching and daydreaming. Author Kristen Britain has written a total of 6 novels in the Green Rider novel series and a few short series separately as well. The novels of the Green Rider series were published between the years 1998 and 2015. The first novel of the series was published by the DAW Books publishing house in the year 1998 and was titled ‘Green Rider’. The plot of the novel revolves around the lives of the main characters Shawdell, Captain Laren Mapstone, King Zachary, and Karigan G’ladheon. In the opening plot of the novel, Karigan G’ladheon is introduced as going through the long journey of returning home from school and pondering about the fight that she had in school. She thinks that she is definitely going to get expelled from school for indulging into a fight. Hence, she keeps pondering about her future while still on her way to home from school through the dense forest called Green CLoak. Soon, she gets interrupted in her thoughts by a galloping horse that emerges from the woods with the rider being injured by a couple of black-shafted arrows. As the rider is about to die of the injuries, he informs Karigan of being a legendary messenger of the king, called a Green Rider and that he has to deliver a very important message to deliver to King Zachary about life and death. He asks Karigan to deliver the message to the king and also warns her not read the message herself. Karigan reluctantly agrees after which he asks her to swear on his sword for completing the mission as an act of love for the country. He also bestows his golden-winged horse brooch as the symbol of his office and just before his last breath, he whispers in her ear to be beware of the shadow man. This promise changers the life of Karigan forever as she becomes a legendary Green Rider herself and tries to complete her mission by following the path where her horse takes her and even pursued by dangerous and unknown assassins. Karigan gets caught up in a deadly world full of danger and fatal magic. She is compelled by the dark forces that she is unable to understand and is also followed by the dark beings who hound her in order to read the message. The dark forces also try to prevent her from reaching her destination. The second novel of the series was published by the DAW publishing house in the year 2003. The novel was titled ‘First Rider’s Call’ and continued to show the life of the main character named Karigan G’ladheon as a Green Rider. In the opening sequence of the plot of the novel. Karigan becomes one of the elite magical messengers of the king of Sacoridia. In her service as a messenger, she had been caught up in the deadly world of danger on many occasions and had also been successful in defeating the Eletian and stopped him from cracking the D’Yer Wall, which had protected the kingdom of Sacoridia for more than a thousand years from the evil influence of the Blackveil Forest as well as the evil spirit of Mornhavon the Black. However, Karigan was still tainted by the wild magic of the Mornhavon. After some time, she returns to her home in Corsa, exhausted in spirit and body, but still determined to carry out the assigned job as a Green Rider. When she returns to the court after experiencing ghostly echoes in her mind, she finds that the Green Riders have become diminished and weakened. As the Rider magic began to become unreliable, she was experiencing ghostly visions of the First Rider called Lil Ambriodhe, who was also the founder of the corporation of the Green Riders. But, no one was able to understand why was she appearing to Karigan only and whether Karigan will seek her help as she had been dead for more than a thousand years. Kristen Britain. Kristen Britain grew up in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, where she started her first novel - an undersea fantasy featuring herself and her friends - at the age of nine. She published her first book, a cartoon collection called Horses and Horsepeople, at the age of thirteen. After completing her degree in film production at Ithaca College in 1987 she made the logical (?!) leap from cinema to the National Park Service. Her many years as a park ranger enabled her to work in a variety of natural and historical settings, from 300 feet below the surface of the Earth to 13,000 feet above sea level on the Continental Divide; and from the textile mills of the American Industrial Revolution to the homes of Americans who changed the course of history. Currently she lives in a log cabin in where she writes full time and pursues interests reading, guitar playing, and cartoon illustration. She enjoys exploring the magical places around her and can often be found paddling a canoe in stillwater, ambling through the woods to mountain summits, or sitting along the rocky shore listening, watching, and daydreaming. This is her fantasy, at least. Contact Kristen Britain care of : DAW Books, Inc. 375 Hudson Street New York, New York 10014 U.S.A. Into the Woods [ edit | edit source ] An interview with Kristen Britain. Kristen Britain's first novel Green Rider was well received by fantasy fans. It sits squarely in the popular mainstream of fantasyland adventures but has a pleasant freshness of its own that surely owes something to the author's unusual job. David Langford talked to Britain about the way her ranger work helped her to write her debut. Amazon.co.uk: Were you happy with readers' reactions to the novel? Kristen Britain: I am enormously pleased with the response to Green Rider --astonished in fact. I'm grateful that so many people have been willing to give a first novel a chance. What truly delighted me about the response was the broad appeal. I've heard from school teachers and students, a retired police sergeant, booksellers, a professional pet sitter, and a US Marine, among others. Often the book is passed around in families, which I think is really terrific. Amazon.co.uk: Any specially interesting feedback or comments? Britain: My favourite kind of feedback is when readers tell me they were totally swept away by the book and lost sleep over it because they couldn't put it down. While I'm sorry it causes some readers to go to work or school in a groggy state, it makes me feel as if I did my job. Amazon.co.uk: They tell me you're a park ranger--did this help with the authentic feel of forests and landscape? Britain: I've been a national park ranger for nearly 12 years and have worked at a variety of national parks, each with its own unique setting and story. I do love nature, especially the north woods, and certainly this worked its way into the fabric of Green Rider . If you were to visit me at my current park, I would welcome you to the land of Sacoridia and lead you down a path or rustic roadway that my protagonist, Karigan, has travelled. Much of Green Rider was developed in my head as I hiked and walked through the park (but not on government time!!). Amazon.co.uk: Are Amazon.co.uk readers allowed to know the park where you're working at present? Britain: I work at Acadia National Park, in the state of Maine. Britain: Does the riding experience that shows in Green Rider --and the relationship between Karigan and the Horse--come from your ranger work? Britain: Currently we don't have horse patrols in the park but in the early 90s my primary duty was to patrol, via mountain bike, a system of historic carriage roads. These roads wind through the forests I love. Did riding bike patrol through the forests influence the creation of Green Riders ? I will let readers draw their own conclusions . A mountain bike is no replacement for a horse, however. Horses were an important facet of my growing-up process and I think it's safe to say that a good part of my childhood was spent hanging out at a stable. Sadly, after I went off to college and then began working for the National Park Service, horses became far removed from my life. Just recently I took some riding lessons to refresh my memory of what it was like. It certainly reintroduced me to some muscle groups I had not been in touch with for a while--ouch! With age and experience, I can now appreciate just how huge and powerful horses are. More than once my instructor marvelled that I kept my seat when Bella the gray quarterhorse mare decided she did not approve of our direction of travel and swerved on her haunches in a one-eighty. She was a bit more lively than some of the old schoolies I remember from my youth. Amazon.co.uk: In the book, I liked Karigan's tough character; do you feel there's a touch of yourself in there? Britain: I believe there is a touch of me in all the characters, including the villains. They emerge organically from me, so they can't help but retain bits of authorial plasma. Still, these characters are also vastly different from me, including Karigan. For instance, Karigan would not have the patience to sit alone in a room writing about someone else's adventures. She can't sit still--she has to be the "doer"; the one having those adventures. Likewise, I would not be very happy about riding through the countryside, rain or shine, while being pursued by dangerous villains and having to sleep on the ground. (I'm the kind of ranger who prefers hotels . ) Amazon.co.uk: Definitely my kind of ranger. It was also good that your most prominent villain, the black archer, isn't just randomly evil but is working as one part of a larger political plot. Britain: I'm glad you found the archer not to be a random evil. It's more interesting if the villain has a sense of purpose, a motive. Each villain in the book wants something and has a reason for wanting it. They are conspirators but they all have their own self-interests in mind. Villains can be compelling characters and tons of fun to write. They can stretch the limits of a story in ways that the good guys can't. It's almost as if they possess more freedom to act because they aren't necessarily restricted by morals, rules or laws. Amazon.co.uk: They said the same about Milton's Satan--the best character in his book! You broke one tiresome rule or law of fantasy, though, by giving Green Rider a satisfying ending rather than a mere "continued in Book Two". Britain: It was important to me to conclude the story in a definitive way. When I was working on the book, I had no idea if it would ever see print, so I did not wish to presume so early on that it would be the first book of a series. Also, speaking as a reader, hitting a cliffhanger ending in someone else's book gets me gnashing my teeth. It's frustrating! I hope to keep each instalment of the series self-contained, while also making it part of a larger framework. Amazon.co.uk: Do you plan a direct sequel or a brand-new adventure for Karigan? Britain: The sequel is semi-direct. That probably doesn't make sense! The sequel picks up two years after the events of Green Rider and rejoins Karigan and the Green Riders for further adventures related to some of the outcomes of the first book. There are certainly threads that need to be followed up on. Beyond that, I'm hesitant to say more about the sequel, for stories in progress have a way of changing midstream and again during the editing and revising phases. Amazon.co.uk: Are you now writing full-time? Britain: In addition to my full-time career with the National Park Service, I write as much as I can. Having two careers is not easy on the stressometer. However, even when a first book has been successful, writing income is much too iffy to sever ties with a dependable, livable wage and benefits. I keep hoping my cats will offer to take jobs to support me but so far they seem reluctant to make a change in their eating and napping habits. Amazon.co.uk: Were you stimulated by any particular existing fantasies, good or bad? I know you mention The Lord of the Rings but Tolkien is a universal experience--the very air we breathe. Britain: Tolkien is indeed the very air we breathe . I have read The Lord of the Rings countless times, and still it remains as fresh and magical to me as the first time I read it. Other early fantasy inspirations include Lloyd Alexander and Anne McCaffrey. These days, any book I read, whether fantasy or not, stimulates me one way or another. I have become a very critical reader--you can't help it after having written a novel of your own. You begin picking out the mechanics, no matter how well written the novel is, and asking yourself how you might have done this or that. Sometimes I am just so amazed by an author's skill that I am humbled. In other cases, someone's work will challenge me to do better. Just such a thing helped motivate me to write Green Rider . Amazon.co.uk: You've expressed enthusiasm about the cover art, which authors rarely do--so presumably that's just how Karigan should look? Britain: Let me first answer by saying that I'm a fan of Keith Parkinson's art. When I was told he would be doing the cover for Green Rider I was so ecstatic the cats had to peel me off the ceiling! I was also relieved because I knew he would treat the story and characters with dignity. In the process of preparing the art, Keith asked me for details about Karigan's appearance. Keith had read the manuscript but there are, in fact, only minimal descriptions of her. "Long brown hair" and "bright eyes" were about all he had to go on. I told Keith that Karigan was an "everywoman" (although in better shape than some of us, ahem . ), and asked him to interpret her as he would. I had no wish to impose my vision of Karigan's appearance on the reader, since she is an "everywoman" and the reader sees much through her eyes. Amazon.co.uk: And they didn't change the cover for the British editions, as so often happens? Britain: All editions have used the same artwork, but both the British and German editions are on the blue side. The original artwork is more consistent with the natural colours of a forest. The change in tint is a marketing thing, I guess. Amazon.co.uk: One last, slightly cruel question, inspired by the first British review of Green Rider that I saw. How many reviewers have quietly "corrected" your name to Kirsten? Britain: Oh, I'm used to variations on Kristen. Better to ask how many people call me Kristen Britane. I have no doubt that readers in Great Britain know the correct pronunciation of my last name. In fact, I've considered changing my middle name to "Great", but if I did so, my initials would be KGB and I'd be forced to abandon fantasy for spy novels.
