Maggie Stiefvater is Jan 2011. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
The Scorpio Races take place in November at the beginning. In an effort to reach the finish line, riders try to hang onto their water horses for as long as possible. A few cyclists are alive. Some pass away.
Sean Kendrick is the re-entering champion at nineteen years old. A young guy with little vocabulary, he hides any concerns deep within, out of sight from others.
Cuck Connolly is not like that. She had no intention of competing in the Scorpio Races. However, she hasn't had much of a chance from destiny. She thereby makes history by becoming the first female to join a tournament. She is not at all ready for what is about to occur.
