From Little Stack

The first book in the outstanding Wolf Den Trilogy, The Wolf Den transports us back to ancient Pompeii before the volcano eruption that destroyed the town.

Amara is a young woman sold into slavery and now forced to be one of the she-wolves at Pompeii’s infamous brothel. Amara and the other she-wolves have a sisterhood that sees them ready to defend each other no matter what. Strong, tenacious and wiley, they are also vulnerable and powerless. The story explores the hard choices they must make and the unspeakable things they must do in order to survive. 

Publisher Description

Sold by her impoverished mother. Enslaved in an infamous brothel in Pompeii. Determined to fight for her freedom at all costs. . . . Enter into the Wolf Den.

Amara was once the beloved daughter of a doctor in Greece, until her father's sudden death plunged her mother into destitution. Now Amara is a slave and prostitute in Pompeii's notorious Wolf Den brothel or lupanar, owned by a cruel and ruthless man. Intelligent and resourceful, she is forced to hide her true self. But her spirit is far from broken.

Buoyed by the sisterhood she forges with the brothel's other women, Amara finds solace in the laughter and hopes they all share. For the streets of the city are alive with opportunity—here, even the lowest-born slave can dream of a new beginning. But everything in Pompeii has a price. How much will Amara's freedom cost her?

The Wolf Den is the first in a trilogy of novels about the lives of women in ancient Pompeii.
