Out here, even the lowest slave can secure a reversal in fortune. Amara has learnt that everything in this city has its price. But how much is her freedom going to cost her?

' Hope and humour runs through this powerful, moving story - I loved it! Elodie portrays the brutal indignities and tragedy of these women' s lives with so much warmth, sensitivity and respect. I was captivated by Amara - her strength, compassion and her determination to thrive in a cruel, unequal world. I can' t wait to follow the rest of her story' -- Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne ' An utterly gripping story. It humanises the men and women who had their humanity taken away from them, and helps to remind us that the brothels of Pompeii were far more than seedy tourist attractions' -- Daisy Dunn, author of In the Shadow of Vesuvius ' Harper' s style is exhilaratingly direct, with images lingering long in the mind' s eye. You smell the oil lamps and temple incense, taste sticky figs, feel physical blows, and the dialogue packs powerful punch too. It' s a vivacious piece of work, and all underpinned by a woman' s longing for freedom' * LoveReading * ' A riveting tale of power, love, hate, privilege, female empowerment and female friendships found in the most unlikely situations, The Wolf Den truly delivers and you will laugh and be heartbroken alongside the women nicknamed she-wolves, whose lives were deemed disposable, and their determination to find ways to escape the brothel both in body and mind. Set in a rich and prosperous Pompeii, Amara' s story takes off at a brisk pace and ultimately delivers a stunning ending that left me both satisfied and very eager for the next book in the next book in this series' -- Buki Papillon, author of An Ordinary Wonder ' What a book! Utterly compelling, unflinching in describing Amara' s life as a slave-prostitute in Pompeii and so incredibly transporting. Best book I read in ages' -- Sophie van Llewyn, author of Bottled Goods ' A gripping tale, which celebrates female solidarity and empowerment in the face of oppression and adversity. Rich in historical detail, beauty and brutality, The Wolf Den brings to vivid life the doomed city of Pompeii and the powerlessness of its women. I loved it' -- Caroline Lea, author of The Glass Woman ' The best historical fiction holds a mirror up to the present and The Wolf Den is a triumph. Elodie Harper transports us thousands of years and thousands of miles and yet we see ourselves reflected there' -- Claire McGlasson, author of The Rapture
