Synopsis
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.

Review
"Readers of the Da Vinci Code will be fascinated with this real-life drama of magic and intrigue! The truth is out there, and Patrice Chaplin has lived it!
" --Kathleen McGowan, author of The Source of Miracles
"A story of love and magic steeped in the truth, a story that will stay with you years after you read the last pages.
" --Kathleen McGowan, New York Times best-selling author of The Expected One and The Book of Love
"Patrice Chaplin becomes the first author in decades, to add something original to the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery. No one except her has been so involved in the decipherment of a century-old secret that, if we could put under control in the near future, it could give a quantum leap in our evolution. The Portal is, no doubt, the missing piece in the Rennes-le-Chateau puzzle.
" --Javier Sierra, New York Times best-selling author of The Lady in Blue
"The Grail mystery: Patrice Chaplin lived it and is conveying its incredible nature to the reader." --Philip Coppens, investigative journalist and author of The Stone Puzzle of Rosslyn Chapel and Servants of the Grail
"Chaplin continues the epic literary journey that she started in 'Happy Hour' and 'City of Secrets'. The reward is an enchanting tale of love and nothing less than the truth." --Corjan, Singer/Songwriter and publisher of Rennes-le-Chateau Research and Resource
