In this sixth episode of Katherine Roberts' epic novel ‘I am the Great Horse’, Alexander meets the mighty Persian army at Gaugamela for his bloodiest battle of all. His men are outnumbered five to one, and King Darius is not only fighting for the survival of his empire, but also for his family who are still being held hostage in Alexander’s camp. Alexander has a plan… but when the moon goes out before the battle, is this a bad omen for the Macedonians or the Persians?
This book includes bite-sized historical facts at the end of each chapter, and a bonus story by Aura, Bucephalas’ favourite mare, who was stolen from the Macedonian camp before the Battle of Gaugamela and forced to carry the Persian king as he makes his desperate escape.
