Riders. A new fantasy adventure from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Veronica Rossi.

For eighteen-year-old Gideon Blake, nothing but death can keep him from achieving his goal of becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. As it turns out, it does.

Recovering from the accident that most definitely killed him, Gideon finds himself with strange new powers and a bizarre cuff he can't remove. His death has brought to life his real destiny. He has become War, one of the legendary four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Over the coming weeks, he and the other horsemen--Conquest, Famine, and Death--are brought together by a beautiful but frustratingly secretive girl to help save humanity from an ancient evil on the emergence.

They fail.

Now--bound, bloodied, and drugged--Gideon is interrogated by the authorities about his role in a battle that has become an international incident. If he stands any chance of saving his friends and the girl he's fallen for--not to mention all of humankind--he needs to convince the skeptical government officials the world is in imminent danger.

But will anyone believe him?

Critic reviews

“Rossi has laid the groundwork for an intense new series sure to be loved by the author’s fans. Intense enough for reluctant readers yet sophisticated enough to entice those who enjoy books with a military background and lots of action.”—School Library Journal, starred review, on Riders

Amazing Narrator

The Narration was amazing! Between the characters, horses and weapons it paints a very entertaining story. The Narrator provided great voices for the horsemen and the kindred!

Great Story and performance

Really enjoying this trilogy and looking forward to the second book. Great performance. Really like it.

Fantastic Audiobook

I highly recommend this (audio) book for horse lovers, supernatural fans, and anyone who is looking for a unique fantasy and retelling told in the real world full of adventure, great world-building and superb pacing. I can’t wait to read/listen to the sequel.

There were two short parts in the first half of the book where the recording sounded like it had recorded two voices saying different things, which was a bit distracting, but apart from that, the narrator was phenomenal- the voices for each character were so well done! I was very impressed.

The story was just what you’d expect from the description. I had super high expectations because I love the author’s other work.

In search of identity .....do I have to choose ?

There are a lot of cool concepts in this story.... But you know there is always a butt, there was just something missing from the mix. The horses were a new touch, the armor, the weapons were really a neat touch. The talents of the characters were a reminder of Avatar the movie. All in all this story is worth the read and a credit, but again it will not become a classic tale

Fantastic all around!

Loved the story, narration... ALL OF IT! Great book, Veronica Rossi is just an amazing author and the narrator just perfectly fit!
