The Scorpio Races

A YA fantasy about wild water horses and the risks we’ll take to protect those we love. Every November 1, the Scorpio Races take place on the small island of Thisby. Riders try to stay on capall uisce long enough to cross the finish line or at least not to die. Everyone in the community has lost someone to the murderous capall uisce. Nineteen-year-old Sean has won the races four times and he’s back to defend the title. Puck never thought she’d enter and not just because she’ll be the first girl to ever complete. Her impoverished family desperately needs the cash prize. Sean and Puck are drawn into each other’s orbit despite themselves but there can only be one winner.
