Treachery at Thebes

In this second episode of Katherine Roberts' epic novel 'I am the Great Horse', you'll join Alexander and his friends in their battle against the powerful cities of Athens and Thebes, who seize the opportunity to rebel against Macedonia after his father King Philip is assassinated. With a sinister plot to destroy the young king before he has a chance to sit on the throne, can Alexander succeed where his father failed and persuade the Greeks to follow him across the Hellespont into Persia? And what happens when he discovers the only groom in his army who can handle Bucephalas is a girl?

This book includes bite-sized historical facts at the end of each chapter, and a bonus story by Apollo, the mount of Alexander's friend Perdiccas who volunteers for a dangerous mission at the rebel city of Thebes.
