Watch as a full video interview instead!


Elodie Harper is a bestselling author whose Wolf Den trilogy has won wide acclaim. The first book The Wolf Den, was a book of the month for both Waterstones and Barnes & Noble, won the Glass Bell Award and was shortlisted for Page turner of the year at the British Book Awards. The second in the series, The House with the Golden Door, was a Sunday Times top 10 bestseller. Elodie's first standalone novel set in the ancient world - Boudicca's Daughter - publishes in the UK and US in August 2025.


We had great fun chatting with Elodie in the studio and hearing about what made her move from journalism to fiction writing, and why your first books don't need to be your big break (Wolf Den was book 3). Plus, we talk about her love of Ancient Rome and what inspires her to write her stories.
