This mystical journey of one woman's awakening to her soul's true purpose and passion will inspire and delight all readers.The Giuliana Legacy deftly traces the heroine's piecemeal discovery of the threads of a frayed tapestry of mystical and healing traditions -- a tapestry which only Julia, the Giardani Heiress, can repair. To recapture all the torn, scattered threads and reweave them into a pattern relevant to her world, Julia must travel from her native California to the distant island of Cyprus, her ancestral legacy's primal source, then on to the rustic hills of Tuscany. There she finds and revitalizes the abandoned family farm, discovering also its Sacred Gardens -- the magical realm of the Giardani Goddess.Among the ghosts and legends of her Etruscan ancestors, Julia's true inheritance unfolds, allowing her already burgeoning psychic gifts to flourish. Bound to Julia's destiny and odyssey are three others: Andrei Anatolin, the Russian expatriate, gifted telepath, wandering savant and would-be monk, whose love for Julia draws him magnetically to her and her cause; Madame Racine, the eternally elegant Parisienne and legendary player in the quest for world peace, whose loyalty to Julia's family compels her to risk her life's work; Gregor Danilenko, the sinister ex-KGB general who will stop at nothing to destroy Julia so that he can possess the priceless Giardani heirloom that he believes will grant him immortality. Once Julia herself discovers the Giardani heirloom so desperately sought by Danilenko, she holds the key to The Giuliana Legacy, and is ready to truly serve as the Giardani Heiress, the healer and guide who helps others discover and devote themselves to abidingDivine Love. But first, she must surrender to and survive her ineluctable destiny: a deadly confrontation, in which she must offer her life in order to uphold the eternal power of love that her family long ago pledged to serve.
