1. The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper
Release date: March 29
Amara, sold by her mother to a vile brothel owner, is a she-wolf (another title for enslaved prostitutes). In 76 AD Pompeii, women like Amara and her fellow she-wolves are voiceless, often ignored — or worse — by the rest of society. Amara hasn’t given up on the potential for freedom, but freedom, especially in these ancient times, always comes with a cost. This raw and honest perspective on an underlooked group of historical women shows the brutal realities of ancient life and the impact of female friendship in the midst of harrowing times.
2. The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn
Release date: March 29
Based on the real story of a legendary female sniper in the Soviet army during World War II, Quinn’s latest novel follows Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a Ukrainian bookworm, student, and mother who ends up with the nickname “Lady Death” thanks to her sharpshooting skills. We follow her throughout the war as she struggles against misogynistic military culture and even visits the US, where she befriends Eleanor Roosevelt. A captivating and refreshing view on a much-written about time period that any historical fiction fan will love.
