The Spell of Undoing: Quentaris: Quest of the Lost City, Book 1

Calamity has befallen the city of Quentaris! Due to a vengeful plot by warlike Tolrush (which backfires), Quentaris is uprooted—city, cliff-face, harbour and all—and hurled into the uncharted rift-maze. Lost and adrift in this endless labyrinth of parallel universes, encountering both friend and foe and facing unknown dangers, Quentaris must somehow forge a new identity and find its way home. "The Spell of Undoing commences a new series in the Quentaris saga. Part of the 'Quentaris: Quest of the Lost City' series, this young adult paperback leads the reader on a wild adventure when Quentaris, a replica of a city from the early 1300s, is lifted from its bedrock by the Spell of Undoing. A saboteur gets the spell wrong. Instead of unravelling the city's prosperity, it lifts the entire city, throws it into a vortex, and hurls it through the rift maze and into another world. Quickly the citizens of Quentaris must transform the city into a galleon with propellers, sails, rudders etc. New powerful guilds emerge. Unfortunately, the spell also uproots Tolrush, an opposing city. This city becomes a marauder pirate ship, forever chasing Quentaris from world to world, while Quentaris flees and has other adventures. The feisty young heroine, Tab Vidler, overcomes many obstacles to help her city."--Provided by publisher. When the city of Quentaris is uprooted and sent adrift in the uncharted rift-maze, Tab Vidler strives to adjust to the changes that this brings and to help her city deal with an invasion from the enemy city of Tolrush
