The way you intertwine Maria's modern-day story with echoes of ancient Greece and the lingering mysteries beneath the Peloponnese is both evocative and beautifully layered. I was especially drawn to the archaeological thread, the Ionian-style column base and the halted dig, which gives the book such an alluring blend of history and suspense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs someone who's always been fascinated by the intersection of past and present, from A Discovery of Witches to my latest novel, The Black Bird Oracle (https: \/\/a.co\/d\/23u9BSO), I deeply admire how your work channels that same sense of continuity, where history seems to whisper just beneath the surface of daily life. You've created a world where curiosity becomes a form of courage, and I think readers feel that. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeborah Harkness\u003cbr\u003e#1 New York Times Bestselling Author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Ioannou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798986887531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Ioannou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.49d","brand":"Diane Ioannou","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852417020159,"sku":"9798986887531","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/artemis-child-diane-ioannou-9798986887531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
