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."-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Gladiators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Volcanoes $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Patricians (Rome) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Survival $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Pompeii (Extinct city) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 83459 700 1 $a Quinn, Kate, $e author. $9 141667 700 1 $a Dray, Stephanie, $e author. $9 146869 700 1 $a Kane, Ben, $e author. $9 133470 700 1 $a Knight, Eliza, $e author. $9 233261 700 1 $a Perinot, Sophie, $e author. $9 160086 700 1 $a Shecter, Vicky Alvear, $d 1961- $e author. $9 118934 700 1 $a Moran, Michelle, $e writer of introduction. $9 123300 941 $a 9 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240802015954.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20240502011651.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20240214010502.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20231202012136.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20231121012033.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231110010118.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20231010042505.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230916010039.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230829010200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64DC0994463111EEBB0236102CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
