The House with the Golden Door

(£16.99, HB, Head of Zeus) In the exciting second novel in The Wolf Den trilogy, we see Amara adjusting to life as a concubine with her new patron, while living with remorse at having left others behind in the brothel. Fighting for survival means making sacrifices and difficult decisions, though, and we see a darker side to Amara, who’s changed by what has gone before. Meticulously researched, it’s another great look at the inhabitants of the ancient city of Pompeii.
