These mythical creatures are both beautiful and deadly, emerging from the sea each year. The narrative follows two main characters: Sean Kendrick, a skilled and reserved horse trainer with a deep connection to the water horses, and Puck Connolly, a determined young woman who becomes the first female rider in the races, driven by necessity to save her family home. As the race approaches, both characters face personal challenges and forge an unexpected bond, navigating themes of courage, loyalty, and the struggle between tradition and change.
