The Temple of Fortuna - Paperback

by Elodie Harper (Author)

The final, dramatic installment in Elodie Harper's Sunday Times bestselling Wolf Den Trilogy.

Amara's journey has taken her far; from enslavement in Pompeii's wolf den brothel to her new life as a high-powered courtesan in Rome, but her story is not over yet. While Amara plays for power in Rome's imperial palace, those dearest to her remain in Pompeii. But it is 79 CE, and mighty Mount Vesuvius is about to make itself known . . .

Readers of Jennifer Saint's Ariadne, Natalie Haynes books like A Thousand Ships and Stone Blind, and other novels based on Ancient Roman and Greek mythology--as well as fans of inspiring feminist historical fiction exploring the worlds of Ancient Greece and Rome--will love Harper's acclaimed Wolf Den Trilogy. Anyone looking for a book that centers women's perspectives on the historic events of Pompeii will be captivated by Amara's story, which starts with the first book in the trilogy, The Wolf Den, a Barnes & Noble Our Monthly Fiction Pick, a Waterstones Fiction Book of the Month, and a critically acclaimed UK bestseller.
