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. 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. And although she longs for her family, Amara knows they are safest while she is far away. But the year is AD 79, and Mount Vesuvius is preparing to make itself known... The Temple of Fortuna is the dramatic final instalment in Elodie Harper's Sunday Times-bestselling Wolf Den trilogy, which reimagines the lives of women who have long been overlooked.

This was THE book I was waiting for this year, and it lived up to my anticipation. The FMC's arc is beautiful. The characters feel real. The references to contemporary archeological discoveries within the context of the story are subtle and delightful. There's something special about the way Harper manages to actually put you in Pompeii's strict social hierarchy with Amara, feeling her struggle as if its your own. I can't recommend this series enough.
Such a good ending to an amazing series. It was heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. And whilst the losses from Vesuvius were so sad, the ending was so satisfying and well deserved.
