Every year in November the water horses come out of the sea, and someone must die. This year Puck decides she will ride in them to save the house she grew up in, and being the only, and first woman to ride there are many challenges. Sean on the other hand must win the races so he can finally own his horse. This novel is full of adventure and fight to gain what you love most. The novel is almost less about the horse races and who wins but about their journeys and how they got there. The writing was very detailed and filled in caps beautiful with detail. Overall the novel is a novel of true triumph.
