His beloved Joliette had long ago stopped living. Yes, death had them both, but even in death, passion knows no bounds. She would love him in the end, for it was just in her nature to love the dead. 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 faithfully pursues her scientific objectives, she becomes bewitched by the spirit of a long dead God-King. Fantasy. Reality. The land of the living and the land of the dead. Faith blurs the lines between. Can Joliette trust in Botton, trust in her own heart, or will her obsession with death draw her farther into the darkness beyond?
