Dido gallops headlong into her third adventure, following her
escapades in the riveting and action-packed Race to the Death and
Rivals on the Track. Dido is reconciled to leaving the racing track
and staying at home to train horses with Scorpus and Parmenion. But
a storm is brewing. It brings with it a fiery black stallion,
uncannily like Dido's beloved Porcellus. Word arrives from Rome
that her cousin, Abibaal, a talented young charioteer, has been
recruited to compete for the evil emperor, Caligula. To save
Abibaal, Dido must return to the great Circus Maximus track where
she once drove to glory herself, confront her enemy Caligula, and
face the toughest, most dangerous race of her life. For 9+. 'Rich
in period detail, with a few real historical characters – its
principal invention the idea that a woman might have been a
charioteer – this is an involving, well characterised tale that
feels original' Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week, on Race
to the Death
