| With her trademark lyricism, #1 "New York Times"-bestselling author Stiefvater ("Forever, Shiver") turns to a new world, where a pair are swept up in a daring, dangerous race across a cliff--with more than just their lives at stake should they lose. |
Annotation:
Fleshing-eating horses, family fortunes, and romance create a tense, magical tableau in this riveting young adult novel. Each season, the island of Thisby holds a Scorpio Race on the beach, involving the capaill uisce (water horses), mythical creatures who rise in hunger and confusion from the sea every fall. They are vicious, must be trained with magic, and feed on blood. A multiple-year champion, 19-year-old Sean Kendrick very much wants to win this particular race to secure his freedom, while 16-year-old Puck Connolly is going to race her ordinary mare in a desperate stab to save herself and her little brother, Finn, from destitution. With narrative alternating between Sean and Puck, the disquiet builds slowly until the stunning conclusion. Maggie Stiefvater is the author of the bestselling Mercy Falls trilogy.
