It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some live, while others die. In this stand-alone novel from Maggie Stiefvater, two competitors are swept up in this daring, dangerous race across a cliff --- with more than just their lives at stake should they lose. 

When Sam met Grace, he was a wolf and she was a girl. Eventually he found a way to become a boy. But Grace was not meant to stay human. Now she is the wolf. And the wolves of Mercy Falls are about to be hunted in one final, spectacular kill. But can one boy, Sam, and one love really change a hostile, predatory world?

In Maggie Stiefvater's SHIVER, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in LINGER, they must fight to be together. At turns harrowing and euphoric, this second installment in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy 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.

For years Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf --- 

Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human…until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It’s her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears and the temperature drops, Sam must fight to stay human --- or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.
