A novel of breathtaking beauty, set in the untamed wilds of Ireland, from the bestselling author of Shiver, Linger, and Forever.
Stay alive, stay astride, stay out of the water... Every November, the Scorpio Races are run beneath the chalk cliffs of Skarmouth. Thousands gather to watch the horses and the sea that washes the blood from the sand.
The mounts are capaill uisce: savage water horses. There are no horses more beautiful, more fearless, more deadly.
To race them can be suicide, but the danger is irresistible.
Sean Kendrick knows the dangers of the capaill uisce. With one foot in the ocean and one on land, he is the only man on the island capable of taming the beasts.
He races to prove something both to himself and to the horses.
Puck Connolly enters the races to save her family.
But the horse she rides is an ordinary little mare, just as Puck is an ordinary girl.
When Sean sees Puck on the beach, he doesn't think she belongs. He doesn't realize his fate will become entwined in hers.
They both enter the Races, hoping to change their lives. But first, they'll have to survive.
Romantic and steeped in legend, Maggie Stiefvater is a master at writing both romance and heart-pounding action.
Her books have consistently debuted at #1 on the NYT bestseller list.
PRAISE FOR SCORPIO RACES
If The Scorpio Races sounds like nothing you've ever read, that's because it is.
The capailluisce are exhilarating, frightening creations... Stiefvater has successfully plumbed lesser-known myths and written a complex literary thriller.
The bestselling author of Shiver (2009) and Linger (2010) turns the legend of the water horse into a taut, chilling, romantic adventure.
The water horses are breathtakingly well-imagined, glorious, and untamably violent.
The final race, with Sean and Puck each protecting each other but both determined to win, is a heart-stopping climax that will leave readers breathless.
