The Chicken's Curse

electronic resource

dictionaries

Felix and Livia are being, pursued across the Roman empire, from the darkest, dampest corner of Gaul to the dry, desert sands of Tadmor. They must reach Rome by the Ides of April to rescue Livia's brother before he is, sent into the arena to do battle with lions-and perhaps a vicious ostrich or two! Along the way, the pair are, helped (and hindered) by a selfish sacred chicken, a foolish camel, and a grumpy magic carpet as they encounter bandits, a shipwreck, and a false accusation. Will they save Livia's brother in time, or will they all fall victim to the chicken's curse?
