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\u003e Terry 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\u003e Few 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Stanfill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Story Merchant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615657547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2012\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Story Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44760002134131,"sku":"9780615657547","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_6ee504f4-1158-42b2-a36c-d04f6ad19fc2.jpg?v=1775951814","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/realms-of-gold-ritual-to-romance-9780615657547","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
