The Wolf Den trilogy by Elodie Harper is a three-book historical fiction series published between 2021 and 2023. The novels follow Amara, a young Greek woman sold into slavery and forced to work in the lupanar, the wolf den, of ancient Pompeii. Across the three books, Amara navigates the dangerous social world of the Roman Empire, building alliances and seeking a way out of her circumstances.

The first book, The Wolf Den, establishes the setting and Amara’s situation with unflinching honesty. The House with the Golden Door continues her story as her fortunes begin to shift, and The Temple of Fortuna brings the trilogy to its conclusion against the backdrop of Vesuvius’s eruption in 79 AD. Harper writes with a clear eye for historical detail and an understanding that the lives of women in the ancient world were shaped by forces largely beyond their control. The trilogy has been praised for making ancient history feel immediate and personal.
