Summary
The life of a courtesan in Pompeii is glittering, yet precarious....
Amara has escaped her life as a slave in the town's most notorious brothel, but now her existence depends on the affections of her patron: a man she might not know as well as she once thought.
At night, she dreams of the wolf den, still haunted by her past. Amara longs for the women she was forced to leave behind and worse, finds herself pursued by the man who once owned her. In order to be free, she will need to be as ruthless as he is.
Amara knows her existence in Pompeii is subject to Venus, the goddess of love. Yet finding love may prove to be the most dangerous act of all.
We return to Pompeii for the second instalment in Elodie Harper's Wolf Den Trilogy, reimagining the lives of the women from the town's lupanar.

Best book this year!
So glad that I came across this talented author. It's the second book in the trilogy and it gets even better all the time. The story keeps you tightly gripped from beginning to end, totally immersing you into the times long gone. Roman Empire with lives of ordinary and not so ordinary people trying to survive, make a living, love and be loved, often having to make great sacrifices for such privilege.
Narration is quite exceptional. Thank you Ms Harper and Ms Beamish for a rare gem of a book. Can't wait for the next one.

Great story, strong women.
The story of enslaved women is powerful and difficult to listen to aometimes. But what well drawn characters and beautifully narrated. Roll on part three!

Gripping!
An excellent advance on the wolf dens amara. Her character is so lovable yet so frustrating. You are constantly willing for fictional glory for her yet Elodie harper has an ingenious way of entwining reality which carries you through such a human experience. I felt I was living amara’s life, feeling what she was and I can’t wait to read the final book!!

a great continuation of the story
Second in the series, taking the characters on a new journey and whilst not as good as the first book it was a compelling story. Once again the characters are one to believe and the storyline flows wonderfully, can't wait for the third book

The story is not as compelling as the first book
The character of the protagonist changes and she does many things inconsistent with her character in the previous book and with a person who has been through a trauma, in my opinion.

Such an enthralling tale
I’ve enjoyed this series even more than I anticipated. It really captures the dichotomy of the lives of women of the ancient world. Making me feel ever more gratitude for the times I have been born into. Although there is still a huge amount of women still struggling in the world, where every day they have to make difficult choices based on limitations.
I feel a lot of respect for our female ancestors who endured so much and this series really captures so much about their stories.
I cannot wait for the next book. Elodie Harper is such a skilled story teller and the narrator is so well suited.

A Good Trilogy
Excellently narrated. Great story and characters. Highly recommended for a very immersive listen. Read Wolf Den and immediately had to download book 2.
