The Last Girls of Pompeii

In this historical fiction adventure, join two teenagers in Ancient Rome as they confront the wrath of nature and the power of their own choices.

In Pompeii, in the summer of A.D. 79, Julia and Sura appear to lead opposite lives. Julia is the daughter of a wealthy shipbuilder; Sura was kidnapped from her parents as a small child. Julia bears the Curse of Venus—a withered arm; Sura’s beauty turns heads. Julia is free; Sura is her slave.

The summer has already been a trying one for Julia, with two older sisters’ weddings to endure. Then she begins to suspect that her parents have a terrible plan in mind that will affect not only Julia’s life but Sura’s as well.

Yet what no one in Pompeii suspects is that beneath the verdant vineyards that grow on Mount Vesuvius, a beastly volcano slumbers. When it finally erupts, it forges a path of destruction that throws everyone’s futures into question, and forces Julia and Sura to confront the true meaning of freedom.
