If you enjoy being swept back into history like I do then you will love T.L. Higley’s new story set in Pompeii!

Back Cover:

Pleasure-seeking Romans find the seaside town of Pompeii the perfect getaway. But

when the rich patrician Cato escapes Rome, intent on a life of leisure, he is unprepared

for the hostility he encounters. In the same place, but at the opposite end of society,

Ariella has disguised herself as a young boy to be sold into a gladiator troupe. Survival

is her only ambition.

But evil creeps through the streets of Pompeii, and neither Ariella’s secret nor Cato’s

evasion is immune to it. Political corruption, religious persecution, and family peril

threaten to destroy them, even before an ominous mountain in the distance spews its fire.

As Vesuvius churns with deadly intent, Cato and Ariella must bridge their differences

to save the lives of those they love – before fiery ash buries Pompeii, turning the city into a lost world.

“T.L. Higley’s Pompeii ignites with riveting action and compelling characters. No one unleashes the secrets of history with a  masterful hand the way T.L. Higley does! Authentic and powerful, Pompeii is a fiery tale of a city lost to the power of Vesuvius. I simply could not read fast enough!”

-Ronie Kendig, author of Digitialis

I asked Tracy what she was most excited about with this book. Here’s what she said:

“People are fascinated by Pompeii, by the “frozen in time” city buried under all that ash and lava, then discovered and dug out centuries later. I’m excited to be able to bring the city to life, with characters that lived and loved there, and give people a fuller picture of Pompeii life than they’d ever get from textbooks.”

I remember being fascinated by the idea of Atlantis when years ago I read a book about that lost city. Tracy has agreed to give away a signed copy.
