A note for parents
The Scorpio Races is a fantasy adventure centered on a dangerous horse-racing competition where deaths occur, but violence is not graphic or dwelt upon. The story emphasizes courage, survival, and challenging gender expectations through well-developed protagonists. While there is some romantic tension and occasional mild language, the content is suitable for mid-to-older teens who enjoy atmospheric fantasy with stakes and character depth.

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... 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.
