The Magicians: The Emperor in Pompeii by Rachel Lawson
When Emperor Fred Alexander and his son, Prime Minister Morganite, visit Pompeii, they expect a simple holiday—not a journey through time. But when they touch ancient skeletons in a prison cell, they find themselves trapped in the doomed city on the eve of its destruction.
Mistaken for Druids, pursued by Roman soldiers, and unable to call on the Timekeeper for rescue, Fred and Morganite must navigate a world where death looms over every moment. As the volcano begins to erupt, their fate is sealed—or so it seems.
Will they perish in history, or does an unexpected twist await them beyond the ashes?
