Amara was the spoiled daughter of a Greek doctor until one day her father was buried, leaving behind her mother in abject poverty and destitution. Today, Amara is a prostitute for a cruel and merciless man in the infamous “Wolf’s Den” brothel in Pompeii. She is intelligent and resourceful, but she needs to hide her true identity. Her spirit is far from broken, and thanks to the sisterly bonds she forged with the other women in the brothel, Amara finds solace in laughter and shared hopes. The city’s streets were full of opportunity, and even the smallest slave could dream of a new beginning. But everything in Pompeii has a price. How much will Amara pay for her freedom? “The Wolf’s Den” is the first part of a trilogy depicting the lives of women in ancient Pompeii.
