This is book three of the Green Rider series, which you really should be reading if you haven't already. Again, there might be some spoilers if you're not caught up.
Karigan G'ladheon bought some time for her fellow Green Riders by sending the spirit of evil Mornhaven the Black into the future, but how far no one knows. King Zachary has sent Riders out to scour the world for ancient knowledge of how to repair the magical wall around Blackveil Forest before Mornhaven can rise again, but so far those efforts have proven in vain. Meanwhile, a shadow group of descendants of Mornhaven's original followers calling themselves Second Empire, have carefully initiated a plan to destroy what they feel are usurpers of their destiny. Karigan must utilize all the magic and wits at her disposal to protect her king and country from these multiple dangers.
This is a fun, fast-paced series that only gets more interesting as they go on. Kristen Britain expands the world around Karigan while simultaneously reinforcing original characters and creates a believable mythology and history. There wasn't a single point during the story where I felt jarred out of the events by illogic, which is damn impressive when you consider that there's a sudden influx of random-ass pirates, a talking wall, and elves who may or may not be helpful. It all works and adds up to a roundly entertaining story that remains grounded enough to provide real stakes for its characters.
