A novel of conceptual breakthrough. This is a fast-paced and deeply
evocative story about a strange world in which physics appear to
operate counter to the norm. Weight increases as one descends into
caverns that are rife with extraordinary creatures. Weight
decreases as one climbs magnificent towers. The world is constantly
shaken by tremendous quakes. Gravity fluxes threaten to tear the
world apart. Civilization is degenerating. When machines break
down, there are few who can repair and maintain them. Sheena, with
her newfound companion Marek, embark on a dangerous and desperate
journey in order to seek the Sacred Portal: a hypothetical place
which may hold the answers to puzzling questions about the world,
its inhabitants, its roving exterminators, and the ultimate fate of
the Universe. Sheena's father Wilam assures her that the Sacred
Portal leads to the salvation of their topsy-turvy world. Sheena's
quest goes contrary to the wishes of those in power. The evil
despot Charel believes that the Sacred Portal is a myth. Yet, he is
afraid that her discovery of its existence may incite the populace
to revolt; or worse, bring the world to an end. He dispatches Boram
and his palace guards to track her down and kill her. She kills
Boram by running a sword through his body, and escapes the timid
palace guards. With the palace guards on her track, with mechanical
exterminators barring her every move, she and the faithful Marek
must overcome all obstacles, pass through untamed forest, climb
over the magic mountains, cross the sparkling sea, pass a guarded
gate - and embrace cosmic revelation.
