Prize-winning author brings her Pompeiian Courtesan heroine’s finale to Haworth.

Prize-winning author Elodie Harper will be visiting Haworth’s Independent Bookshop Wave of Nostalgia to launch The Temple of Fortuna - the final and most exciting title in her Wolf Den trilogy about women in ancient Pompeii.

At 7pm  on Tuesday, 7th November she will be signing books and discussing the incredible story of her heroine, Amara, a courtesan in Pompeii. Amara's journey has taken her far, from a lowly slave in Pompeii's brothel to a high-powered courtesan in Rome. She is now a freedwoman with wealth and influence, yet she is still drawn back to her past.

For while Amara is caught up in the political scheming of the Imperial palace, her daughter remains in Pompeii, raised by the only man she ever truly loved. Although she longs for her family, Amara knows they are safest while she is far away. Perhaps, with enough cunning and courage, she will manage to turn Fortuna's wheel in their favour. But the year is AD 79, and Mount Vesuvius is preparing to make itself known... .

Wave of Nostalgia, finalist in the regional Independent Bookshop of the Year, loves to champion strong women. Owner Diane Park is really looking forward to welcoming Elodie back to Haworth. She says “The Wolf Den series has been one of our customers’ favourite books with a fantastic mix of true history, strong women and a great plot. Elodie is a spellbinding writer and Amara a great creation. Elodie’s books are getting better all the time and I love The Temple of Fortuna which guides her heroine’s adventures to an exciting and explosive conclusion”
