The Wolf Den Trilogy

The Wolf Den trilogy follows Amara from enslavement in Pompeii’s lupanar to freedom, wealth and political danger in Rome. The Wolf Den begins in AD 74, when Amara and the other women owned by the brothel keeper Felix rely on friendship and ingenuity to survive. The House with the Golden Door examines the insecurity of her new life as a freedwoman whose position still depends on powerful men.

The Temple of Fortuna brings Amara into the political world of the Flavian court before returning her story to Pompeii in AD 79. Across the trilogy, private relationships are shaped by slavery, patronage, prostitution and Roman law, while the approaching eruption of Vesuvius gives the women’s struggle for control over their lives a fixed historical end point.
