{"product_id":"9780615657547","title":"Realms of Gold: Ritual to Romance","description":"Praise for Terry Stanfill:\u003cp\u003eRealms of Gold: Ritual to Romance is sheer alchemy. Terry Stanfill cleverly masterminds dialing back the time machine in magical, potent ways to reveal a vast fabric of history seamlessly reaching into the depths of the Celtic past. Under her pen, the past revived informs the present in the form of a star-crossed love ignited by a compelling quest, from Puglia to Burgundy, with the famed Vix krater at its vortex. The novel is a masterful tapestry of human aspirations and enterprises, of science and intuition, revealing the author's profound understanding of the past and her visionary re-crafting of it that leads to the story's romantic-and historically surprising--revelation. Historian, archaeologist, and antiquarian extraordinaire, Stanfill's latest novel powerfully evokes living legends from their newly discovered historical sites. --Erik T. Haskell, professor of French Studies \u0026amp; Humanities, Scripps College, Claremont University Center\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerry Stanfill has wonderfully crafted Realms of Gold into a research-oriented mystery romance. A page-turner hard to put down.--Georgianna Erskine, Pasadena, California\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew of us know South Italy as Terry Stanfill does; and her love of this wonderful land shines through every page of her quietly astonishing novel. What a story she tells--threading its way through mythology, ancient history and archaeology in Italy and France and England. Almost a romance, almost a thriller yet not quite either, it possesses a unique character of its own. I loved it. --John Julius Norwich, author of A History of the Normans in South Italy and Sicily\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Story Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49980769173744,"sku":"9780615657547","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615657547","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
