Plot summary

Karigan G'ladheon, a merchant's daughter, is cast out of her school in Selium by Dean Geyer because she stood up to an aristocrat.
Running away from those burdens into the forest called Green Cloak, she meets a legendary Green Rider (one of the King's messengers) who is dying with two black arrows protruding from his back.
F'ryan Coblebay makes Karigan swear to carry a message to Sacor City for the 'love of her country', and there to deliver into the hands of either Laren, the Captain of the Green Riders, or the King himself. She is not to read the letter for the sake of her life, but she actually is carrying two letters. As his life passes, he whispers with his last breath; "beware the shadow man...".She also takes the golden winged horse brooch, which she only noticed after his death. It is the symbol of his office as a Green Rider.
Karigan, following her promise, rides the Horse (whose real name is Condor) to Sacor City through perilous paths which only the Horse knows how to get out of. During the journey, she meets many people, including the Berry sisters, Eletians, two Weapons turned traitorous...etc.
Throughout her journey for a very dangerous promise, the ghost of F'ryan Coblebay follows her, urging her on and providing help when desperately needed.
When she reaches Sacor City, she is hailed as a Green Rider, and she delivers both letters. The other, which she read out of curiosity, was a love letter to the beauteous Lady Estora, which she thought unimportant.
Time passes and nobody could work out what F'ryan Coblebay thought so important, until Lady Estora, confused by inaccuracies in the letter delivered to her, came to Karigan; who then took it to Laren for closer inspection.
The love letter is decoded to reveal a plot to kill King Zachary by his brother Amilton and one of the clan chiefs. Amilton was the elder brother of Zachary, but because of shameful behaviour, he was denied the throne and eventually even lost the right to rule over the family province of Hillander.
Then follows a desperate battle as Shawdell, an Eletian, is revealed as the Shadowman. After a dangerous battle involving ghosts and a munariel, Karigan kills the rogue Eletian and Zachary's throne is safe again.
