💬 My Bookish Thoughts
In the final installment, we follow Amara's journey in Pompeii with her new patron, Demetrius, as she builds her own empire to ensure her daughter Rufina's safety. Rufina, believed to be Amara's ex-patron Rufus's daughter, is back in Pompeii under the care of her mother's friends Julia and Livia and her real father, Philos, Amara's ex-lover.
I won't say more to avoid spoilers.
Elodie Harper is a genius. She had me gritting my teeth with the tension from the twists and turns in the incredible plot. Beautifully written, it vividly depicts the trials of slaves, courtesans,and the unjust luxury of the rich in ancient Rome and Pompeii. This book is an emotional rollercoaster.
The entire series, especially this final book, surpassed my expectations. This series is in my top 5 favorites ever.
If you love historical fiction and want to learn about ancient Rome, the demise of Pompeii or are seeking an incredible series about girl power, then The Wolf Den Trilogy is for you. Your life and mind will be richer for it..
Thank you Elodie for writing this incredible trilogy and expanding my world history and heart 💞🙏🏼
