The Cleopatra Curse

Chariot racing is dangerous enough without a demon to worry about. When lighthouse boy Zeuxis is chosen to drive the Roman chariot in Alexandria's hippodrome against Queen Cleopatra's champion horses, he hopes to win his freedom. But the Romans do not expect him to complete the race, and first he must avoid the curse buried in the track by the queen's brother Prince Ptolemy. With the rival supporters rioting in the streets, and the Roman army set to invade, can Zeuxis keep the lighthouse fire burning and persuade the legendary demon of Alexandria to help him save the city? Final book of the action-packed Seven Fabulous Wonders series by Branford Boase award winning author Katherine Roberts.
