Capaill uisce- A predatory, fey horse of the sea. Aroused by the coming of November, they take to the land, ready to kill. 
 The Scorpio Races- A dangerous sporting event participated in by the locals of the Island Thisby in which competitors must capture and train one of the Capall to race near the alluring waves of the ocean. 
 Turning to the first page, I was prepared for another Shiver. Gently closing the cover, I felt the ghost of tears. Maggie Stiefvater had never been one of the candidates for such a feat. This book was meant to be about the legend of the faerie water horses, commonly known by us urban fantasy readers as 'kelpies,' but that was only the coloring of the dresses at the ball. 
 This story tells so much more of determination, confidence, and a love so fierce between a man and his horse that not even the ocean could interrupt it. 
 Tells so much more of ferocity, rebellion, and the ability and will to believe in the power of a mere girl on her tiny horse against monsters of strength and teeth. 
 This was not another Shiver. This was better than Shiver. This was hope and strength and love. 
 And Sean Kendrick on his stallion, Corr. Winning for his horse 
 And Puck Connally on her mare, Dove. Winning for her house. 
 Desperation a driving force to win.
