In this gripping conclusion to the wonderful Treasures of the Earth series, Kimberley Woodhouse excels in combining fact and fiction to create a compelling, entertaining read. Set in 1916, the exciting plot filled with intrigue and mystery—including, vandalism, threats, murder, and deceit—along with strategically positioned plot twists drew me in from the beginning and kept me reading expectantly. Detailed descriptions of paleontology, reflecting extensive research, add depth, realism, and interest to the story. The characters are well-developed and believable with real-life historical figures seamlessly woven in with the fictional ones. Two heinous villains bring chaos and danger to the dig sites! The faith journeys of both Eliza and Devin as they learn to surrender their fears and fully trust God and His unconditional love are inspiring. I love the way Eliza and Devin’s sweet friends-to-more romance, hindered by societal expectations, develops. I thoroughly enjoyed this perfect blend of history and romance and highly recommend it.
