The Temple of Fortuna by Elodie Harper

9 November 2023 By Editor

Buy The Temple of Fortuna by Elodie Harper

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 AD79, and Mount Vesuvius is preparing to make itself known…

The Temple of Fortuna by Elodie Harper is published on 9 November, 2023.

It’s the last in her Wolf Den trilogy.
