Product Description

Product Description

Blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy, can faith and science unite to save two desolate hearts. Can love triumph over deceit, and can a man and a woman put history aside and rediscover just how deep their bond lies. Antiquity follows French Archeologists Joliette Deneauve and Olivier Botton as they grapple with the mystic implications of a discovery hidden deep within the Siberian mountains. As Joliette pursues her obsession, she becomes bewitched by the spirit of a long dead God-King, and torn with despair, her grip on reality is tested.  As Joliette attempts to decipher the incantations of a strange burial rite, painful memories from her own past begin to overcome her, and her faith in Botton is tested. Will she learn to trust him again, trust in her own heart, or will they slip farther away from one another, into the abyss and beyond.

Words To Be Savored 25 Mar 2011
By BookAddict - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I loved everything about this book. The narrator is a dead Babylonian king. Joliette, the main character, is an archeologist who grapples with love and trust and her strong attraction toward digging up dead things. The characters and the plot are unique and utterly captivating.

A line Ms. Gardner wrote within this book captured how I felt about much of it: "... silken words draped over sorrow." The beauty of the words often had me stopping to re-read sentences. This is not a long book but it is one to be savored.
Incredible Story 2 April 2012
By Mary Firmin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I must say that any writer reading this book will get an excellent lesson in Point of View from Cheryl Anne. Here we have a narrator who is a dead King, and he falls in love with the archaeologist who dug him up. Cheryl's mastery of her craft had me rooting for the dead King to get the girl. The heroine is an interesting character, like most of Cheryl's females, she has a mind of her own and a dedication to her work that does not ease up, even when an old lover appears and tries to lure her away from her dead King. The writing in this story is impeccable. As I said when I read The Thin Wall it reads like British Literature.
Congratulations Cheryl, and I am now a big fan.

Cheryl Gardner always delivers 8 Jun 2011
By Brandy N. Hunt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I think I finally know why Gardner's work fascinates me so. It combines my love of the bump in the dark with prose that reminds me of Jane Austen, you know if Jane Austen had liked to wear black and smoke unfiltered cigarettes.

Yeah, kind of like that. Excellent book, completely unexpected ending. As always, Cheryl delivers.
