Twelve-year-old Dido dreams of becoming the first female charioteer at the great Circus Maximus. She's lost her heart to Porcellus, a wild, tempestuous horse she longs to train and race. But such ambitions are forbidden to girls and she must be content with helping her father Antonius, the trainer of Rome's most popular racing team, The Greens, and teaching the rules of racing to Justus, the handsome young nephew of the Green's wealthy owner. When her father is brutally murdered, she is show more forced to seek refuge with an unlikely ally. But what of her dream of Circus triumphs and being reunited with the beloved horse she left behind in Rome? And the threat to her life isn't over as she faces a powerful and terrifying new enemy, the emperor Caligula. show less
