A DAY OF FIRE - KATE QUINN STEPHANIE DRAY BEN K...

From six bestselling authors  including New York Times bestseller Kate Quinn  comes a vividly
imagined novel following the lives of those in ancient Pompeii on the fateful day Mount
Vesuvius erupts. Pompeii was a lively resort flourishing in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius at the
height of the Roman Empire. When Vesuvius erupted in an explosion of flame and ash  the entire
town would be destroyed. Some of its citizens died in the chaos  some escaped the mountain’s
wrath . . . and these are their stories: A boy loses his innocence in Pompeii’s flourishing
streets. An heiress dreads her wedding day  not knowing it will be swallowed by fire. An
ex-legionary stakes his entire future on a gladiator bout destined never to be finished. A
crippled senator welcomes death  until a tomboy on horseback comes to his rescue. A young
mother faces an impossible choice for her unborn child as the ash falls. A priestess and a
prostitute seek redemption and resurrection as the town is buried. Six authors bring to life
overlapping stories of patricians and slaves  warriors and politicians  villains and heroes who
cross each other’s paths during Pompeii’s fiery end. But who will escape  and who will be
buried for eternity?
