The Last Days of Pompeii

Immerse yourself in the opulent world of ancient Pompeii, where love, betrayal, and impending doom intertwine. Lytton’s vivid prose brings to life a cast of unforgettable characters, from the noble Glaucus to the cunning Egyptian priest Arbaces. As Mount Vesuvius rumbles ominously in the background, you’ll find yourself captivated by the city’s decadence and the characters’ personal struggles. I couldn’t put it down, feeling as if I were walking the streets of Pompeii myself, right up until its tragic, ash-covered end.
