Fics like Hold Fast, Dear Heart

William Laurence, third son of Lord and Lady Allendale, has been adrift in the world since his failed career start in His Majesty’s Navy. In an attempt to gain a foothold as candidate for Stable Master in his family's legacy as one of the top Thoroughbred yards in the nation, he takes on the seemingly straightforward task of a business trip to the far-flung island of Thisby, where supposedly, an eccentric horseman has managed to introduce the fabled capaill uisce into his breeding stock bloodlines. However, as the autumn tides turn, the island’s facade begins to crumble and Thisby’s true nature reveals itself. Laurence’s life is thrown into upheaval when unforeseen circumstances bring him to enter in this year's race, and he must capture a water horse of his own: a reckless undertaking that could cost him his life.
