"Vita and The book of the dead" to be published by a Belgian publishing house selling to Dutch-speaking countries

The novel "Vita and the book of the dead" (in Italian "Vita e il libro dei morti"), by Alessandra Cinardi, is expected to be translated in Dutch and published by a Belgian publishing house selling to Dutch-speaking countries, in autumn 2023. This is the first book of a successful trilogy, that has been published in Italy by the famous publisher Armando Curcio Editore.

Vita's adoptive parents discover that her 13-year-old daughter has got magical powers and they send her to a children's hospital. During the hospitalisation in the Neuropsychiatric ward, Vita finds out to be destined to find the Necronomicon, the Sacred Book of the dead.

Therefore, Vita attends the Paranormal High School, buried in the Roman underground, where she is going to learn how to harness her talents.

She is going to face her deep-seated fears and to pass different tests to cross the three infernal circles of Duat - the Egyptian hell - with the help of her new friends, Gandolfo, Ercole and the sweet Lilith. Their final goal is to reach Osiris, to obtain the Necronomicon. At the same time, Seth - God of Hurricanes and God of Evils - wants to seize the Necronomicon too, in order to subjugate humanity.

Vita is the main character and the Necronomicon is the ancient Egyptian text that contains the necessary information to the dead in the afterlife, as a guide for the threatening World of Duat.
