The Passage of Eternal Souls

About this book

Behind the walls of "Nagada".. where souls never go silent. Have you ever wondered whether the houses we abandon truly abandon us? Or do they remain crouching, waiting for us, keeping our old screams and forgotten sins in the cracks of their walls? In "The Passage of Eternal Souls," Nada Mohamed El-Shenawy takes us on a journey not to a place, but to black holes in memory and soul. The story begins in the quiet town of "Nagada," where a mysterious fire devours bodies and leaves walls witness to a suspicious silence, beginning the journey of Wad; the doctor who thought she escaped her past by fleeing to Cairo's clamor and the coldness of laboratories, only to discover that the blood she examines under the microscope carries codes science cannot explain. Between the hallucinations of "Aunt Afaf," who was not as mad as they said, and ancient prophecies rearing their heads from beneath the rubble of pharaonic history, Wad finds herself caught in the nets of a mysterious sect that sees in death a gate, and in the body an offering. This book is no mere horror or mystery novel, but.
