    About this ebook

    A Deal With the Devil is a tale about a 100 year old man who signed a pact with the devil that gave him ten more years of life in exchange of his soul. The main reason the old man accepted the deal is growing younger in those ten years. Up until then he was being taken care of by his granddaughter and she doesn't give up on him despite the difficulties the deal put them in. In due course of time, his granddaughter assumes the role of his daughter, sister and mother and, at every stage of her life, she tried her best to dissuade her grandpapa from getting engaged or do some other reckless thing because he only has a few years left in which he was growing younger every day.
