WolvenholReeks
Deze historische saga, gesitueerd in het oude Pompeii, volgt de reizen van dappere vrouwen die strijden voor overleving en vrijheid in een harde, ongelijke wereld. De verhalen benadrukken de kracht van vrouwelijke solidariteit en veerkracht tegenover onderdrukking, rijkdom en armoede. De serie beeldt meesterlijk de contrasterende levens uit van vrije burgers en tot slaaf gemaakte vrouwen die vechten voor hun waardigheid. Het is een boeiende verkenning van hoop, liefde en de ontembare menselijke geest.
