Naši čtyři hrdinové si na sebe a na své zvířecí pomocníky teprve zvykají. A není to právě jednoduché. Když se objeví krutý nepřítel, který je hodlá zničit, bude to pro ně těžká zkouška.

El resto, muere en el intento. Sean Kendrick es el favorito, y necesita ganar la carrera para ganar, también, su libertad. Pero Puck Connolly está dispuesta a ser su más dura adversaria. Ella nunca quiso participar en las carreras. Pero no tiene elección: o compite y gana o... lo pierde todo. «Un estudio sobre el coraje y la lealtad... Una lectura totalmente absorbente.» Publisher’s Weekly «Una obra maestra... No hay nada similar en librerías actualmente.» Kirkus Review « Si Las carreras de Escorpio te parece diferente a todo lo que has leído hasta ahora... es porque lo es.» The New York Times

Na pequena ilha de Thisby, poucos cavaleiros são bravos o suficiente para competir na corrida de escorpião que acontece a cada novembro. Pela primeira vez uma mulher, a jovem Puck Connolly, vai competir. Ela tem dois irmãos e ficou órfã depois que os pais foram devorados pelos cavalos assassinos. Por isso, ela está determinada não só a competir como ganhar a corrida. Para isso, Puck terá que enfrentar outro jovem corajoso e encantador. Sean Kendrick também perdeu o pai, atropelado pelas sanguinárias criaturas. Apesar de terríveis, os cavalos do mar são uma grande atração turística. O turismo é a principal fonte de renda dos habitantes de Thisby. A ilha é um lugar fascinante e, ao mesmo tempo que atrai, também amedronta. A descrição que Maggie faz dos desfiladeiros do local é carregada de poesia. Com a narrativa alternando entre o ponto de vista de Sean e de Puck, a autora criou uma trama envolvente, classificada por críticos do New York Times e do Los Angeles Times como inovadora. Em A corrida de escorpião, Maggie Stiefvater nos leva até o limite, em que o amor e a vida encontram seus maiores obstáculos e apenas os fortes de coração podem sobreviver. Uma leitura inesquecível.

Succede ogni autunno, sull''isola di Thisby. Dalle gelide acque dell''oceano si spingono a riva i cavalli d''acqua, creature affascinanti e crudeli che gli abitanti catturano per montarli nella Corsa dello Scorpione. Il vincitore guadagnerà fama e denaro, i meno fortunati incontreranno la morte. Ma qualcosa cambia quando alla gara si iscrive Kate Connolly, capelli rossi e tempra di ferro. Kate è determinata a correre con la sua cavalla Dove, sfidando usanze secolari che vogliono solo concorrenti maschi e nessun cavallo ordinario. Certo, non ha molte possibilità contro Sean Kendrick, diciannove anni, il favorito, esperto domatore di cavalli. Nessuno dei due è preparato a ciò che sta per succedere, perché quest''anno la Corsa dello Scorpione non sarà solo questione di gloria e denaro, ma di amore e destino.

Pourtant, après l'avoir visitée, les jeunes gens tombent sous le charme de la vieille demeure. Ils ne peuvent se résoudre à exécuter l'ordre de leur père, d'autant plus que les villageois y sont, eux-aussi, très attachés. Ils s'y installent. Quelques temps plus tard, un rêve étrange tire la jeune fille de son sommeil. Elle descend dans leur salon et se retrouve face au Maître de Rampling Gate. Dans ce recueil, 10 nouvelles, dont un inédit de la maîtresse du fantastique : Anne Rice.

Elk jaar in het begin van november is het eiland Thisby volledig in de ban van de Scorpio Race. Ruiters proberen zich lang genoeg vast te klampen aan hun waterpaarden om de finish te bereiken. Sommigen overleven. Anderen sterven. Sean Kendrick, negentien jaar, is viervoudig kampioen. Hij is een man van weinig woorden en als hij al angsten heeft, dan begraaft hij ze diep, zodat niemand ze kan zien. Met Puck Connolly ligt dat anders. Ze zal als eerste vrouw meerijden in de Scorpio Race. Dat was nooit haar bedoeling. Ze is op geen enkele manier voorbereid op wat er staat te gebeuren.

Every November, the Scorpio Races are run beneath the chalk cliffs of Skarmouth. Thousands gather to watch the horses and the sea that washes the blood from the sand. The mounts are capaill uisce: savage water horses. There are no horses more beautiful, more fearless, more deadly. To race them can be suicide but the danger is irresistible.

In Maggie Stiefvater''s Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past - and figuring out a way to survive in the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves... and is nonetheless drawn to Cole. At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love-the light and the dark, the warm and the cold-in a way you will never forget.

Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan is a music prodigy, who’s about to find out she can see faeries. Two mysterious (and cute) guys enter her life. Trouble is, Luke is a soulless faerie assassin and Aodhan is a dark faerie soldier. Their orders from the Faerie Queen? Kill Deirdre.

James Morgan’s gift for music has attracted Nuala, a soul-snatching faerie who feeds on the creative energies of exceptional humans until they die. While collaborating on a musical composition, James and Nuala unexpectedly fall in love. When James realizes that Nuala is being hunted, he plunges into a soul-scorching battle with the Faerie Queen.

In all the years she has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house, Grace has been particularly drawn to an unusual yellow-eyed wolf who, in his turn, has been watching her with increasing intensity.
