In this final episode of Katherine Roberts' epic novel "I am the Great Horse", Alexander fights his last battle against Prince Porus' war-elephants in India. The battle is won, but Bucephalas lies wounded in the mud and the men have had enough.
Forced to abandon his quest for the edge of the world, Alexander leads the survivors on the long journey home – but will any of them make it back to Macedonia? As their king lies dying in Babylon, what will happen to the people and horses who served under him? And how will Bucephalas’ groom Charmeia, who stayed in India to care for the wounded stallion, escape the Horsemaster's revenge when Alexander's protection is gone?
This book includes bite-sized historical facts at the end of each chapter, and a bonus poem by Caspia, who carried King Darius’ son Prince Ochus in Alexander's final battle.
