Perihal e-buku ini

79 A.D. Painters, perfumers, prostitutes and priestesses – Pompeii has them all and more. Life for some is noisy, colourful and sometimes deadly dangerous. For others, it is filled with luxury, affluence and the fulfilment of their every desire. Flavia, the arrogant and beautiful daughter of wealthy parents schemes to avoid an arranged marriage. Vinicius, a vicious, paid killer roams the city streets by night murdering while its citizens sleep. Aelianus, a young slave far from home is sold in the marketplace to Pompeii’s gladiator lanista. Aurelia, Pompeii’s first female career fresco painter feuds with a jealous male competitor. Isidora, jilted by her lover in Egypt, arrives in Pompeii to reunite with her brother. Senator Lucius Diomedes, grieving for his dead wife, seeks meaning from life. Their destinies become intertwined in a deadly dance as a mountain of fire changes everything forever in a cruel lottery of life or death. What happens afterwards to those who escape will be beyond anything they could ever imagine.
