'''''Green Rider''''' is both a series of [[Speculative Fiction]] novels by Kristen Britain and the name of the first novel in the series. They follow the adventures of Karigan G'ladheon, one of the titular Green Riders. The Green Riders are a messenger service in the Kingdom of Sacoridia who are magically called to service by the winged horse brooches, which amplify and enable their special magical talents.
 
In ''Green Rider'', Karigan discovers a young man dying from a pair of ominous black arrows. He is a Green Rider, and begs her to [[I Am'm Dying, Please Take My MacguffinMacGuffin|carry his "life or death" message]] to the king. With his dying breath, he bids her to 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 must rise above being a simple schoolgirl and become one of the Green Riders of legend. 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.
 
In ''First Rider's Call'', Karigan has gone back home to work in her father's trading business, but finds that resisting the call of the messenger service is far harder than she thought it would be. Returning to Sacor City, she finds the messenger service much diminished. Many riders die on their dangerous missions, but no new riders are answering to take their places. Rider magic is becoming unpredictable or failing entirely. Wild magic is scouring the land, and an ancient evil is stirring in the Blackveil Forest.
