Five Books BEST NEW BOOKS FOR KIDS 2024
Just Imagine REVIEWERS' BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2024

The conclusion of the Circus Maximus series set in Ancient Rome full of fabulous horses, thrilling adventures and an unforgettable heroine called Dido.

When her beloved horse Porcellus sires a new foal, Dido hopes he will be the missing piece in her quest to train the greatest team ever seen at the Circus Maximus. But grief and a desire for revenge are clouding her judgement.

Then her old friend Parmenion asks her to shelter the runaway son of her bitterest rival and help him fulfil his dream of becoming a charioteer. Can Dido and the boy, Damon, help each other find a way out of darkness?

And who will claim the right to be known as the sport’s ultimate champion in one last battle for racing glory?
