The most terrifying prophecies come true because of the most extreme human ambitions
The Anomaly
The Anomaly is a novel inspired by real events and people who have changed our world, and by a legend jealously guarded for ten centuries by a family that has left its mark on the history of Europe and the Vatican. A jarring story about the unexpected paradoxes and twists in life and the reality we live in. About the meaning of love, and the power of thoughts. About the consequences of humanity’s struggle to become gods and about a secret prophecy that has been worrying and inspiring people for 2,000 years – including religions and great scholars. The action takes place in Rome, the Vatican, Cambridge, Washington, D.C. and in the Eterneum.

For centuries, legends have hinted that the Italian cave was the very place where Dante Alighieri set out for the underworld to find his deceased beloved, Beatrice.
