Ancient Mysteries; Timeless QuestionsIlona is a descendant of the True Hun tribe, which means nothing to her, until her twenty ninth birthday. The True Hun society is secretive and complex, with strict and fiercely enforced rules revealed only to those who have come of age. Ilona is a rebel, who is determined to control and guide her own life. Resourceful and daring, she crosses the line, and breaks those rules. She must face the consequences, even as she discovers growing magical powers she could never have dreamed of . . . powers tied to ancient tribal secrets. The comfortable and uneventful part of her life ends, as she enters adulthood by Hun standards, and her journey of self-discovery begins. Ilona finds out that her birthright is to become a Healer. This legacy is in her hands, and in her heart and soul. Ilona's destiny as a Healer runs alongside her desires as a woman. She is secretly and hopelessly in love with her best friend, and her hope is that one day he will present her with his Red Tulip  the symbol of devoted love. He seems oblivious to her feelings. As Ilona grapples with this confusion, a dashing stranger explodes into her life. Will he break her heart, or bring true happiness? And will she be able to balance her life's calling with this complicated love triangle? The barrier created by her insecurity kept others out, but also kept her caged in. She has to break the barriers to discover her true identity.Her unusual heritage forced her to open her mind and heart to the unimaginable. She had to learn how to save her life, the future of the Huns, as well as her own sanity. Destiny made her take a leap from idle to warp speed. She had no choice, she had to accept the ride and find out everything by herself. She had to fit the slowly discovered puzzle pieces together. It was a hard journey of a naïve girl growing into a confident woman, unearthing buried secrets and discovering the history of the Huns, which her heritage had forbid her to know. Ilona is a very modern heroine, who grapples with the same questions many of us face today. What if we could wipe out disease? What if we could find a true soul mate, no matter the obstacles? And, most profound of all: If we knew we could use our innate abilities to do absolute good or absolute evil . . . which path would we choose?When her life settled into a slower pace, she began writing a journal. She wanted to take a look at her life from a perspective, hoping it would help her to understand what had happened to her and why. Others who played a major role in her life joined her by writing about their own experiences. This journal depicts their struggles, heartaches and happiness, and it takes you to the mysterious world of the Huns.
