The true-life memoir Patrice Chaplin began in City of Secrets continues here in the story of her spiritual initiation into the Kabbalistic tradition preserved since the Middle Ages by a secret society in the pre-Roman city of Girona, Spain. Salvador Dalí was a member of that society, as was the renowned author Umberto Eco, the filmmaker Jean Cocteau, and Jancint Verdeguer, one of the most celebrated Catalan poets. Importantly, so was the mysterious Berenger Sauniere, the priest who in the late 1800s built Rennes-le-Château in southern France, with the Tour Magdala, a tower that is twin to the neo-gothic tower in Girona. In this gripping story that reads like the adventures of a female Castenada, Chaplin is led through a series of initiatory stages which correspond to the magical square of Venus, containing the constellation of the Great Bear.

In 1970 London, Vicky Graham, an unsuccessful BBC film producer, encounters renowned violinist Luciano Raffi during a performance at the Proms. To Vicky, Luciano embodies the life she yearns for, a stark contrast to her mundane existence. Through her job, she arranges an interview with him, igniting a deep obsession. Their meeting reveals a shared secret: both are aware of a mysterious portal that intertwines their fates. As Luciano prepares to vanish from her life, Vicky realizes she must embark on an unexpected journey to reclaim him. This quest leads her to uncover the portal's hidden history. This latest installment from Patrice Chaplin follows her previous works, The City of God and The Portal. Chaplin, a renowned international bestselling author, has been praised for her powerful romantic fiction, drawing comparisons to Emily Bronte, and for her ability to engage readers with a compelling intensity. She has a rich background as an author, journalist, and playwright, and her fascination with the Grail mystery began at age 15 in Gerona, Spain. With over 36 published works, including books, plays, and short stories, Chaplin continues to explore themes of love and history in her writing.
