Scorpio Races

SOME RACE TO WIN.OTHERS RACE TO SURVIVE.It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die.Even under the brightest sun, the frigid autumn sea is all the colours of the night: dark blue and black and brown. I watch the ever-changing patterns in the sand as it's pummelled by countless hooves.They run the horses on the beach, a pale roadnbsp; between the black water and the chalk cliffs. It is never safe, but it's never so dangerous as today, race day. It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live.Others die.At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.nbsp; Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn't given her much of a choice. So she enters the competition - thenbsp; first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.Maggie Stiefvater
takes us to the breaking point, where both love and life meet their
greatest obstacles, and only the strong of heart can survive. The
Scorpio Races is an unforgettable reading experience.
