The Wolf Den - Elodie Harper

 “Either we choose to stay alive, or we give up. And if it's living we choose, then we do whatever it takes.” I was recommended this book by several coworkers. Normally, when it comes to historical fiction that deals with Roman/Greek narratives, I am skeptical. Authors tend to glamorize those times, when in reality they were harsh and brutal.
