The Wolf Den

by Elodie Harper · 2021

In the bustling streets of ancient Pompeii, Amara—once the cherished daughter of a Greek doctor—finds herself thrust into the grim world of the Wolf Den, the city’s notorious lupanar. After her father’s sudden death leaves her family destitute, Amara is sold into slavery and forced to survive as a prostitute under a cruel master. Yet her spirit remains unbroken. With sharp wit and fierce resourcefulness, she forges a sisterhood with the other women of the brothel, sharing laughter, hope, and whispered dreams of freedom. As the city’s vibrant markets promise new beginnings, Amara learns that every desire comes at a price—how far will she go to claim her own? The Wolf Den, the opening novel of a trilogy, reimagines the overlooked lives of Pompeian women, offering a vivid, unflinching portrait of resilience and hope.
