The Scorpio Races (book 4)

The Scorpio Races is full of action, romance, drama, and suspense all wrapped up into a wonderful book. It is defiantly easy to get into and very hard to put down.

The Scorpio Races can kill both dreams and people. However winning them can make all your dreams come true. And that is exactly what both Sean Kendrick, and Kate "Puck" Connolly need. But in order to do so they must battle not only each other, but deadly capall uinsce. A capall uinsce is a horse of the sea. They live in the ocean, smell of salt, and eat meat. Yet they still look like horses, only bigger, and with longer ears like that of a donkey, and a longer thinner eye to keep the salt out. And they would do almost anything to go back to the sea.

Sean Kendrick, a quite, nineteen year old, four time Scorpio champion wants nothing more than to call Core, his red, flesh eating, capall uinsce truly his. When Sean was little, his father rode in the races on the same horse. Sean was a young lad, and had asked Corr not to eat his father. But after his father falls from his mount in the races, Corr, as asked, didn't eat him, but returned to the sea, whose call rests deeply in all capall uinsce. And years later, when Sean, working for Benjamin Malvern, a cruel man but not as cruel as his son, caught him again. He felt a strong connection, with only one barrier. He could not own Corr. Not yet anyway.

Kate Connolly has to enter the races to keep her life together. After her parents were both killed by the sea demons, her older brother Gabe was left in charge. But he never told Puck, or the youngest brother Finn about any of their financial problems. And to top it off, not only will they lose their parents house, but Gabe as well. He says he will be leaving the island to go to America. So Puck, trying to save her house and little brother, trains with her island "pony" who she insist is a horse. But no one even counts her in, considering she is the first girl to ever enter the races. And the first person to ever dare to not ride a capall uinsce.

When their paths cross, everything is different. Sean, who normally is emotionless on the outside, can't help but give a hint of a smile when he sees her, and Puck cant stop the little flutter her heart does when he walks into the room. But naturally, there can be only one winner.
