Earlier in the week I posted my Giveaway of a signed copy of Forever (Wolves of Mercy Falls #3)…
But just today I saw that over on Maggie Stiefvater’s blog she’s giving away signed and potentially doodled ARCs of her upcoming book The Scorpio Races. What’s great about Stiefvater’s next subject is that it’s not related at all to Mercy Falls. Granted I loved the series. But it felt complete in it’s ending. The next subject for Stiefvater is Irish Water Horses.
Now, I know noting about tales of Irish Water Horses. But I love the way Stiefvater writes. And judging from my recent trip to Ireland, the place is pretty magical. I need nothing more than those two criterion to suggest this next series for my reading pleasure.
Here’s a little summary from Goodreads describing the novel:
“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.”
If the summary wasn’t enough no need to worry. Stiefvater has put together a book trailer (drawings and music done by none other than Maggie herself!) to whet the appetite.
