She is accompanied by the soldiers Justin and Tayse, two King's Riders who are unswervingly loyal to the crown. Also on the journey are the shape-changers Kirra and Donnal, and a young mystic named Cammon who can practically read minds.
It's soon clear that not only are marlords planning a rebellion, but that they are being aided by Daughters of the Pale Mother, a fanatical religious sect that hates mystics. While Senneth can clearly take care of herself, Tayse finds himself unable to stop watching her - determined both to protect her and to uncover her secrets.

Someone below remarked that this was a good light romance, and while there are romantic elements, it is more a fantasy (which generally has romantic elements) than a romance. I read both genres, and there is a distinction.
Enjoyable

Would you listen to Mystic and Rider again? Why?
I have read this book at least three times, one of my all time favorites. I thought it would be interesting to listen to it. I can't say that it was not enjoyable at all, but I didn't like the interpretation. I felt that Senneth, the main female character was completely misunderstood. But what was especially bothering me that the narrator gave a voice of a 12 old girl to a young man of 20. It would be interesting to see how she would solve the problem of suddenly changing the tone for the same character in the fourth book when he becomes the love interest of the future queen.....One of my favorite books in a very poor narration

Would you listen to Mystic and Rider again? Why?
Yes! The reader is fantastic, and creates each of the characters in distinct and endearing ways----I found when I read the book as well, I could hear Jennifer Van Dyck's voice speaking from the page for each of the characters. I went on to devour the rest of the series, and would enjoy listening to the story that introduces the characters and plot that develops through the 5 books in the series.What did you like best about this story?
I loved the characters, and felt drawn into the cares and concerns, passions and idionsyncracies of Senneth and Cammon, Kira and Donnal, Tayse and Justin. I found the struggle between light and dark, mystical powers and oppressive forces compelling at this time, fall of 2016.What about Jennifer Van Dyck and Sharon Shinn ’s performance did you like?
I liked their ability to create believable male characters with their female voices. I liked the expressiveness and passion of the women, and what drew the skeptical Riders to come to respect and trust them. The voice of the young Cammon is full of curiosity and wonderment, despite all he has lost in his young life.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
She Who Carries the Flame, He Who Carries the SwordA timely read, when light and magic are so needed
