Bookroo's summary

Alec and his horse, the Black, are stunt doubles on a film set in remote mountains. Their exploration leads them to a hidden city, where they're revered—until they learn they're to be sacrifices in a terrifying ritual involving flesh-eating mares. Can they escape the deadly coliseum of King Diomedes?

From the publisher

When Alec and the Black are hired to work as stunt doubles in a film about Alexander and his horse, Bucephalus, they find themselves on set in the remote mountains of the Greek/Bulgarian border. Movie making involves a lot of waiting, so they set out for a morning of exploring. Chasing an elusive albino mare, the two find themselves caught in an underground river which drops them, half-drowned, beside a city lost in time. Revered at first, they soon discover that they are intended as the entertainment at a horrific ritual . . . sacrifices to the legendary flesh-eating mares in the coloseum of King Diomedes. Another thrilling new Black Stallion novel by Walter Farley’s son, which proves that the art of writing a great horse story is definitely in the genes!
