409 pages
Some race to win. Others race to survive. 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. 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 - the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.
I didn’t read much about what this book was about, but the brief description sounded exciting. So, I was a bit disappointed that the race didn’t begin until page 373 of a 409 page story. But, I loved the characters and the whole story seems to have this whole emotional undercurrent that is always just on the surface, but never really spoken.
