The Temple of Fortuna (Wolf Den Trilogy)

by Elodie Harper

“My darling, there is no need. Julia always said she had her father’s eyes.”

“Julia always said you were the most determined woman she had ever met. That you had the tenacity of a wolf, and would make a success out of anything, however unlikely. So live your life, my darling. And don’t prove her wrong.”

Mortality sits on her doorstep and Fortuna will turn her wheel, whatever plans Amara makes. Today, she has her family, she has love and she has a living. May this be enough.

Amara tells herself she faced an impossible choice, one that was always going to inflict pain, yet in the end, she does not regret the love she chose. She rests her hand on her daughter’s shoulder and leans over to kiss Fidelius on the cheek. “Everything is as it should be,” she says.
