The Scorpio Races
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 chance. So she enters the
competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared
for what is going to happen.

Maggie Stiefvater
Maggie Stiefvater writes stories that feel like waking dreams, where reality and myth move together in ways that seem both inevitable and strange. Beloved for The Raven Cycle and The Scorpio Races, she has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary young adult fantasy. Her books are not only about magic but about mood, about the electric charge between characters, and about the beauty and danger of the unknown.
She grew up in Virginia, a homeschooled teenager who spent more time with sketchbooks, instruments, and notebooks than anything else. By sixteen she had already written dozens of novels, a private training ground for the voice that would later draw readers around the world. Her early life still lingers in her work: the wild landscapes, the haunting music, the fascination with cars and speed, and the sense that imagination is never fully separate from the everyday.
