Set in Rome and Pompeii in the countdown to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, this is the dramatic final instalment in Elodie Harper's Sunday Times bestselling Wolf Den trilogy.
Elodie Harper is a journalist and bestselling author. She is currently a reporter at ITV News Anglia, and before that worked as a producer for Channel 4 News. The Temple of Fortuna is the final book in her bestselling Wolf Den trilogy. The first book , The Wolf Den, was a Waterstones Book of the Month and a Sunday Times Top 15 bestseller, and the second, The House with the Golden Door was a Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller. elodieharper.com
Elodie Harper has concluded this trilogy in the most perfect way
imaginable. She sweeps the reader into the world of ancient Rome
and Pompeii so effortlessly - we are there, utterly absorbed in
every detail...[it is] unbelievably beautiful, emotional and
powerful. As someone who has been so invested in Amara's journey
since we met her in the Lupanar in the first book, I was on
tenterhooks to see how her story would end. Now I feel bereft that
the series is complete and there is no more.

The perfect balance of tension and hope make The Temple of Fortuna
an unputdownable read. With Harper’s trademark eye for character,
dynamic, and drama, readers are sure to enjoy this triumphant
conclusion to one of the most original historical fiction trilogies
of our time.
*Luna McNamara*
Once again Elodie Harper has delivered a truly captivating novel
where the destruction of Pompeii is vividly realised amid the epic
and satisfying climax to Amara’s powerful journey. A stunning final
instalment and an absolute triumph! I loved it.
*Susan Stokes-Chapman*
The Temple of Fortuna combines the breakneck pace of an
unputdownable thriller with the heart of a love story in which
Elodie's female characters remain fiercely and resolutely
themselves within a society and geography that seeks to crush them.
Although steeped in the sex, violence and decay of Pompeii, the
characters leap from the page with all the fire and fury of modern
women without ever feeling anachronistic. The conclusion was
perfect. I loved it.'
*Caroline Lea*
Is Elodie Harper a time traveller? It would help explain The Temple
of Fortuna's brilliance – the meticulous level of detail, how
richly the world of Pompeii is brought to life, the vivid
reenactment of the disaster which befalls it. This book is superb –
I couldn't put it down.
*Louise O'Neill*
This series has completely consumed me. Elodie Harper conjures the
ancient world onto the page in vivid, immersive detail and weaves a
thoroughly compelling story of courage, hope and bonds worth
fighting for.
*Bea Fitzgerald*
Utterly original, vibrant and unflinching, this is one of my
favourite trilogies ever written. Harper has done something
extraordinary: she has shown us a world we thought we already knew,
but through the lenses of characters whose voices we had never
heard. Her research is richly detailed, bringing to life a world
where beauty and brutality always coexisted. Amara, Britannica,
Philos, Victoria and Berenice will stay with me for a long
time.
*Costanza Casati*
An empowering, explosive finale to the awe-inspiring Wolf Den
