THE WOLF DEN
An engaging, female-focussed novel set in ancient Pompeii, from an exciting new voice in historical fiction.
The streets of Pompeii have a life of their own: the cries of the hawkers, the beauty and dirt of the crowds, the shifts in mood from delight to danger. These are the streets that have become Amara's home. Day after day she must walk them, looking for business to bring back to her master's house: the Wolf Den, Pompeii's infamous brothel.
The realities of her existence are made bearable by the other she-wolves at the Wolf Den. Together they can gossip, offer comfort and dream; and their dreams, when woven together, create a picture of life that makes Amara catch her breath.
They may only be dreams for now, as insubstantial as the candle smoke that follows the flame, but Amara is determined to make them burn bright. She is only a slave in this beginning, but all good stories must start somewhere...
The next two novels will follow Amara's rise to power through the brothel, set against the fascinating historical backdrop of the eruption of Vesuvius, and featuring characters we may know of through history.
Elodie Harper is a journalist and prize-winning short story writer. Her story 'Wild Swimming' won the 2016 Bazaar of Bad Dreams short story competition, which was judged by Stephen King. She is currently a reporter and presenter at ITV News Anglia, and before that worked as a producer for Channel 4 News. Her first two novels, which were crime fiction, were published by Hodder.
