All is not well in Sacoridia. The D'Yer Wall, and ancient magical structure built to keep the evil Mornhavon the Black at bay, is crumbling ... and no one knows how to fix it! While wild magic streams into the land causing chaos, Mornhavon grows stronger and is intent upon locating and killing the Galadheon, a betrayer.

As a person Mornhavon wants dead, Karigan G'ladheon, Green Rider, is caught up in dangers she could have never imagined. To add to her misfortune, the ghost of the first Green Rider, Lil Ambriodhe, keeps whisking Karigan away into the past.

However inconvenient this time traveling is, could it hold the key to destroying Mornhavon forever?

Opinion: 

For anyone who likes swordfighting, secret associations, magic, and a kingdom in peril, this book is a definite read. Kristen Britain has cleverly crafted this story into a phenomenal page-turner. For me, it was hard to put down. This book lies along the same lines as the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the way that people are not always who they seem to be. In Lord of the Rings, Aragorn, the secretive wanderer, is really heir to the throne of Gondor. In First Rider's Call, a jealous cousin might possibly have the power to save the wall. Filled with twists and turns, this book is filled with surprises even to the end. Anyone who enjoys fantasy and adventure will be sure to call this book a favorite!
