Ilona is a doctor and is ruled by logic. When she starts to develop unusual powers, her beliefs change and she's thrown into a world of mysteries, traditions, and secrets. She doesn't know much about her heritage, besides legends and rituals, when she begins to remember her mother's instructions concealed as rhymes. The discovery of her healing power and ability to freeze time is exciting and frightening. A sinister man appears and Ilona connects his presence with the series of mysterious deaths around her. She has been in love with her unsuspecting best friend, when she meets a stranger. She is drawn to him and confused by the sudden magnetic feeling.

The Ancestors' Secret series is an epic fantasy, heroic romance series with magical powers, ancient legends, a love triangle, and time travel that is a great listen for fantasy lovers and also suitable for young adults.

In the flower language of my ancestors, this is a book of hidden secrets.
‘Write your journal everyday…. Make sure you don’t ignore our customs’. Throw some time travel, superpowers, a love triangle and some epic romance into the mix and you have one hell of a story.
Add vivid instances where one sentence creates an entire vivid scene, the mastery of storytelling. The author is clearly an artist and architect in forming a structure with strong plot points, subplots, theme, character, foreshadowing, pinch points and building tension until the climax. I listened to it in two sittings.
This book delivers. Listen to it.

This story, as it progresses give the reader a lot of information on the Huns and thier society. Though this is a fictional story the author did quite a bit of research to lend reality to it. The Narrator does a good job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline. I am going on to the next book in this Series.

Would you listen to Protected by the Falcon again? Why?

I loved the innocence of the story line.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Protected by the Falcon?

The history and heritage

Have you listened to any of Jannie Meisberger’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

It was hard to follow at times due to the narrator.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I enjoyed listening to this narrator, however, because she didn't use different tones, accents and etc to develop each character, it was difficult to distinguish when she was changing characters without having to concentrate on what she was saying. It was hard to follow the transition.

I would really enjoy following this story with either a new narrator or if the current one would develop the characters by different voices and such.

I really enjoyed this book

This was my first audio book and I was glad it was Protected by the Falcon. Since I am passionate for the paranormal this tale had me from the jump. Ilona, a young Hun woman is left to solve mysterious riddles about who she is and why she has mystical powers. Her mother died leaving her with a legacy of Hun ancestral secrets. Every stranger that enters her life is there to help her with her quest. Ilona is a strong character who handles her newfound gifts well. I loved the fact that she could time travel and freeze time. She is in for a shock in the end with a message from her ancestors that will alter her future. An added bonus is the reader's voice that is very mesmerizing and made the story come alive. I can't help it feel this author knows much about ancient Hun legends and magic.
It is evident throughout the story.

I didn't quite know what to expect in Protected by the Falcon, but my goodness was it a great surprise! I really enjoyed Ilona's storyline, but I enjoyed learning about Hun history just as much! I found myself looking up Hun facts on more than one occasion. BUT, that's hardly the greatest aspect of this one. It's definitely the masterful way Erika Szabo tells Ilona's story as she learns who she is and her true destiny. All while trying to find love. Talk about a quandary!

Protected by the Falcon is truly unique in that it's not the same old fantasy novel. The romantic elements nake it very attention grabbing and Erika Szabo does a wonderful job of telling a story that grips you from the first line that Jannie Meisberger delivers. Erika and Jannie make a wonderful team and I'd love to hear Jannie in the follow-up! I haven't even looked to see if there's an audiobook for the follow, but I definitely be picking it up. I know that there's an ebook and print version, but I just LOVE audiobooks and listening to this romantic fantasy was just SO enjoyable. I was able to listen even as I stayed on the move. AWESOME!

I liked this book because of the unique storyline. The book explores time travel, unknown mystic powers and evil entities trying to disrupt Ilona's destiny. I listened to this lengthy book and it is not finished. I need to get the next book to find out what happens with Ilona and Zoltan.

Great Paranormal

The story instantly pulls you in, and I really enjoyed it. The narration was a little slow for me, but after I sped it up a little it was better. Narrator does a phenomenal job with the characters. I really love the language of flowers bits at the start of the journal sections.
