The Scorpio Races is an unforgettable reading experience. As she did in her bestselling Shiver trilogy, author 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. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen. So she enters the competition - the first girl ever to do so. But fate hasn't given her much of a choice. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. 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. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shiver and Linger comes a brand new, heartstopping novel.
