I am SO excited to read the full book! This extract was great and left me wanting for more! One more week to go until I can continue on their adventure and read the final installment of this exciting trilogy

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishes for the extract ARC. I will preface this by saying I have not read the earlier books in this trilogy. I enjoyed the extract provided and it has inspired me to start the series from the beginning so that I can placebthis third book.

Waaaa, SO GOOD! I can't wait to read more from this incredible book, which so far seems to be living up to the very high expectations I had from the earlier titles in the series!

My thanks to the author, NetGalley, and the publisher for the advance extract to review.

Absolutely gorgeous.

My most anticipated release of the year, so I cannot wait for this to come out next month!!

Elodie Harper continues her poignant and captivating storytelling in the next iteration of The Wolf Den Trilogy.

Having read the other two books in this series I was really excited to read a snippet of the final book!

I throughly enoughed reading this as I knew I would. And I will definitely be picking this up when it’s finally released.

Thank you!

I loved this book! Having read the other 2 books in the trilogy I knew the characters and the back story but this book could be read as a stand alone to the others. Elodie Harper brings Roman living to life, the sounds the smells, the unambiguous position in life which imprisoned some. Amara, in this episode of the trilogy looks to have everything she ever desired, but wealth is not everything as she still does not have her daughter with her. Will her patron accept her daughter and bring her to Rome? Will she ever escape from the blackmailer Felix? Fantastic read highly recommended!

I love this series, having read the previous two books in the series, I can’t wait to pick up the full title on publication.

Eagerly awaiting publication! The first 2 volumes were terrific. Appreciate the preview chapter an look forward to reading the final chapters in Amara’s story.

I really enjoyed Elodie Harper’s writing style in this extract and found that it made Greek mythology very accessible. Having not read the previous two books in the trilogy I did feel slightly overwhelmed by the number of characters introduced in the first chapter.

I’m excited to read this when it comes out and will definitely catch up on the two other books in the Wolf Den trilogy before then!

You do not understand...

I NEEDED this book!

After reading the previous two in 4 days, and finding out the third comes out way ahead, in November (aka a lifetime away), I polished my NetGalley profile and submitted a request for the full book.

I got accepted for the excerpt- but beggars can't be choosers, and when a story makes me cry, you can bet I will take (and devour) whatever I can get my hands on.

And I devoured this first chapter - and found myself miles away from Pompeii, and from all other characters, except Amara. It still felt familiar.

Ans guess what? It left me just as mesmerized as the previous books.

I will be frank - Elodie's writing style does not impress me - give me Pat Barker, give me Madeline Miller, Crystal King, hell...give me Elisabeth Storrs and Colleen McCullough and I will pour through page after page as if cutting with a hot knife through butter.

But, if a sentence, or an idea, touches something inside me and draws a tear, - you have me - as a reader - you will have me forever. So after the masterpiece that was The House with Golder Doors, I have pledged myself as an Elodie Harper's fan. Amara's story lives in my pores, is responsible for me watching hours of Pompeii docuseries.

It is the reason I am here.

I question everything when reading a book, my speciality being Historical. The insights I found in Harper's series left me awe-struck. I was there. Her characters were living people. I looked for them, in the Pompeii articles I read, in the doc series I watched since.

So I went through this excerpt, like a hot knife cutting through butter. And again I was there. The beginning, although it starts far away from where the House with the Golden Doors ended, captivated me. New characters felt like old friends.

The knowledge that this last instalment will describe the Vesuvius eruption leaves goose bumps on my skin. November can not arrive quicker.

Can not wait to read the full book. And not having it my hands NOW, it hurts, people. It hurts.

I herby plage that -as an aspiring author - I will grant access to everyone requesting my book on net galley - only because I have been in the trenches my friends, and it hurts.

So I made a mistake, i thought this was a standalone and didnt connect the dots so therefore I cannot comment so much on the characters, but I am a sucker for mythology and historical fiction so i should check out the rest of the series!

I could immediatly tell that this Extract was going to be good because of the writing, it’s pretty yet not to difficult, Which certainly matters! Sometimes you just need a good book with easy language, and this seems to be just that. I loved that We jump straight into the action too, there is no delay Which makes me very intruiged to read the series and to see what’s next!

I cannot be more excited about the final book of "The Wolf den" trilogy.
Harper has managed to make me love a character not because I identify with her, but because of how human she is. The good, the bad and the worst.

Harper creates an unlikely heroine, he does not sugar the cruelty of the life Amara experiences in Roman Italy, and finds the perfect balance between tragedy and small moments of calm and even victory in all this chaos.

I have always had a fascination for the classical world, but these books still managed to teach me more about the reality of their lives and immerse in that world in a way I had never done. You will not find the romanticised birthplace of "democracy" and western philosophy: you find the struggles of people trying to survive in a brutal world, where nothing is for granted.

This extract follows Amara after she has moved to Rome to find a better life, and seems to continue using her intelligence in the best way she can, gathering intelligence and using it to improve her situation.

I cannot wait for the rest of the book and, If you have not yet, I recommend you give the first of the books "The wolf den" a go!

A brilliant read and one I really enjoyed. The characters are loveable and varied, the plot is one that is engaging and medium paced. I found myself completely drawn into the story and enjoyed the writing style.

Perhaps my most highly anticipated #ancientworld read of the upcoming year, to have the opportunity to read a sample of Elodie Harper’s finale in the Wolf Den trilogy was devastating, as it has only left me impossibly impatient for the full volume. As a Classics Editor at a major academic publishing house, I have to say Harper writes about the ancient world in a way that is unparalleled (and perhaps only matched by Robert Harris’ outstanding Imperium trilogy). Ancient Rome, Pompeii, is *tangible* in Harper’s writing. This is stunning work, as expected, and I can’t wait for the full work to be released.

Thank you ever so much to NetGalley and Head of Zeus for this absolute privilege.

The final book in this series can’t come soon enough!

Great to be back with Amara, the extract has got me even more excited for its release. I’m especially intrigued about how the eruption of Vesuvius will be covered and whether Amara will be back in Pompeii by then.

Thanks NetGalley!

I cannot express to you how excited I am to be returning to Amara's world! It appears as though Amara is developing her skills in espionage as she shakes off the life in the slums she left behind, though she is clearly still plagued by thoughts of what she has had to sacrifice to get here. From this extract, it looks like we are entering more into the world of political intrigue and court scandal, but I hope we don't lose what I loved about the first two novels - the gritty fight for survival, what price a person will pay to stay alive, and the comradery which comes from destitution.

Elodie's writing is just beautiful.

The small extract was beautifully written, I didn't actually realise that this was part of a series when I wrote it so I definitely need to return and read the other two!

A quick snapshot of the book, looking forward to its release very soon. I hadn't previously read from. This author but look forward to doing so!

I loved this sneak peak into the most anticipating book of 2023!!!

I have also now read an advance readers copy of the whole book and it completely fulfilled my high expectations.
