Description
Every November, the island of Thisby erupts into chaos as riders mount wild, carnivorous water horses and race them across the beach in a deadly competition where survival is never guaranteed. Sean Kendrick, the stoic defending champion, knows the dangers intimately—he has conquered the Scorpio Races before, but each year brings new perils. When Puck Connolly, a determined young woman with everything to lose, becomes the first female rider to enter the competition, she finds herself thrust into a world of untamed magic and mortal peril far beyond her expectations. As Sean and Puck navigate the treacherous race and the secrets that bind them to these supernatural creatures, they must confront not only the deadly waters and vicious horses, but also the mysteries of their own hearts. Maggie Stiefvater weaves a haunting tale of courage, magic, and the transformative power of facing one's deepest fears.
