I didn't think I'd ever be able to finish this book. The end almost made the hard journey worth it. Karigan G'ladheon has been expelled from school and is on her way home to father when she is stopped by a man dying from two arrows that pierced his back. He is a green rider (an elite messenger service to the king) and entrusts her (a young teenage girl) with a message to deliver to the King. Karigan pledges to see his message delivered no matter what. Somehow she faces highwaymen, elite fighters called Weapons, a gray-cloaked/magic wielding man and various creatures/horrors along the way without losing her life. In fact, most of the time she's protected by ghosts, magic, people popping up in the woods, etc. While the plot line itself does have many flaws, it is still entertaining. I have had several patrons comment on what a fantastic read it was. It just wasn't a great read for me.
