A Pact with the Devil: Before the Beginning

About this book

In a quiet alley in one of Egypt's rural villages, where houses appear huddled peacefully under daylight, tales are born unlike what we are used to. 'A Pact with the Devil: Before the Beginning' is not a mere fantasy novel spun by a fertile imagination but a bold confession and admissions emerging from under the ashes of years to reveal another face of reality. The story begins with an introverted girl surrounded by excessive protective walls of isolation, finding herself facing a mysterious world slipping to her with the first threads of night. Between sounds of unknown running over rooftops, shadows of black cats guarding her dreams, and the silence of a mother hiding in her features an inexplicable astonishment, the features of 'the witch Ema' took shape. This book takes you on a journey beginning at age ten, where innocence met the spiritual world's rituals, for the reader to learn that truth may sometimes be far more savage and ugly than we imagine. It is an invitation to confront 'the deadly curiosity'; between this work's pages, you will discover that sorcery was not a choice so much as a destiny.
