Imagine a place that not only you observe, but you breathe. A place where the sky is purple like an open wound, where the trees twist as if trying to escape the earth, where every step echoes in a void that does not explain. This is the Valley of São Roque, and this book is not for those seeking comfort or clarity. It is for those who want to drown in the unknown, feel their skin prickle with suggestions that should not exist, get lost in a labyrinth where the exit is just another illusion.
Clara Almeida, a 34-year-old psychologist, returned to the Valley because of Helena, her aunt, who died under circumstances no one wants to discuss. Suicide, they say. But the Valley does not let go of its dead so easily. There is a letter that changes text as you read it, a forest where the trees grow in reverse, shadows that dance without bodies to project them. There is a secret in 1989, when five children disappeared and silence swallowed them. It is Clara, torn between the logic she knows and the madness the Valley wants to pour into her mind.
This is an invitation to chaos. A psychedelic dive into a mystery that does not resolve - it spreads, like ink in murky water. If you have already felt a void calling you, if you have already seen something out of the corner of your eye that was not there, open these pages. The Valley already knows you. And it is hungry.
