The Temple of Fortuna
The final instalment in Elodie Harper’s Sunday Times bestselling Wolf Den Trilogy
A courtesan in Rome. Playing for power. Haunted by her past. Her name is Amara. How will her fortunes fall?
Amara’s journey has taken her far, from a lowly slave in Pompeii’s brothel to a high-powered courtesan in Rome. She is now a freedwoman with wealth and influence, yet she is still drawn back to her past.
For while Amara is caught up in the political scheming of the Imperial palace, her daughter remains in Pompeii, raised by the only man she ever truly loved. Although she longs for her family, Amara knows they are safest while she is far away. Perhaps, with enough cunning and courage, she will manage to turn Fortuna’s wheel in their favour.
But the year is ad 79, and Mount Vesuvius is preparing to make itself known…

REVIEW FROM BOOK CLUB MEETING.
If you’ve ever been to one of our meetings you’ll understand how much we’ve loved reading The Wolf Den and The House with The Golden Door and may appreciate the bit of anxiety I felt heading to this month’s meeting to hear everyone’s thoughts on the third book in the trilogy. But I needn’t have worried! The characters were well developed and we were still so invested in their stories. The book was a bit slow to get started but quickly picked up the pace when Amara returned to Pompeii and the eruption of and escape from Vesuvius was so well written we almost felt like we were them alongside its victims. The ending tied up the stories of all our favourite characters in a believable way. We cannot wait to see what this author has in store for us next!
