Synopsis
En la pequeña isla de Thisby, cada noviembre los caballos de agua emergen del mar. Y cada año, los hombres los capturan para participar en una emocionante carrera mortal. En las carreras de Escorpio, algunos compiten para ganar. Otros para sobrevivir. Los jinetes intentan dominar a sus caballos el tiempo suficiente para acabar la carrera. Algunos lo consiguen. El resto muere en el intento. Sean Kendrick es el favorito, y necesita triunfar en la carrera para ganar, también, su libertad. Puck Connolly está dispuesta a ser su más dura adversaria. Ella nunca quiso competir, pero no tiene elección: o gana o? lo pierde todo.
