Where the Sea Meets the Shore: A Dance with Deadly Beauty
On the rugged island of Thisby, November brings more than just autumn winds-it summons the capaill uisce, mythical water horses that emerge from the sea with salt-crusted manes and bloodthirsty hearts. Each year, islanders capture these creatures for the infamous Scorpio Races, where riders risk everything for glory and gold. The races have claimed countless lives, including Sean Kendrick's father, torn apart by a gray water horse when Sean was just ten years old. Yet the island continues this deadly tradition, drawn by the intoxicating magic of creatures that smell of seaweed and speed, adorned with iron bits and holly berries to temper their savage nature. Why do they persist? As Sean simply puts it: "Because we love them." This paradoxical relationship-loving what might kill you-forms the beating heart of a story where courage isn't measured by fearlessness, but by what you're willing to risk for what matters most.
