The Lost Pact

About this book

"The Lost Pact": when the search for a trace becomes a mission to save the world. Layla was not looking for adventure but for her missing mirror. Since Youssef disappeared, all that remained to her was a yellowed, tattered paper bearing words eroded like ancient prophecies: "The true gate opens in a time not our time, and in a place seen only by one who has lost something great." This sole clue led her to the desert of "Tuna El-Gebel" and to the threshold of an ancient tomb wrapped in mystery, where villages weave inherited tales of "the gate of the other world" about to open with the completion of its promised night. She did not know that her first step inside those stone tunnels was not merely a search for a brother but the beginning of a path written in red ink thousands of years ago, when the temple torches went out and the priests sealed a bloody prophecy on an unerasable papyrus. There, where walls breathe and buried hieroglyphics speak sealed secrets, Layla will discover she is no mere visitor but the axis around which an eternal curse turns — and that finding her brother requires a price written before her birth: a choice that will decide whether two worlds remain joined or are severed forever. A dark fantasy where ancient Egypt's magic meets the courage of a sister who refuses to lose.
