Be careful what you wish for; it might just become your worst nightmare.

It is the most chaotic hour of the day and the rain falls mercilessly on the city. Under the shadows of dark clouds, Carlos, drenched from head to toe, can be seen photographing the mundane, capturing their gaze in a single and unique instant. Suddenly, he realizes that the man he is watching is about to force himself upon a woman. Anxious and trembling, he focuses his lens on the scene unravelling before him. It’s her. It was always her. The silent observer, the shadow hanging over his head. The mysterious woman who appears almost magically in all his photos. Or at least he thinks. Since his marriage took a turn for the worst, and his wife has become estranged, he hasn’t been able to ignore the nagging sensation of being constantly watched. Perhaps he is simply losing his mind, incapable of differentiating fiction from reality. And yet, it doesn’t feel that way. What could she possibly want from him? And why now? When he begins receiving cryptic messages Carlos is left without choice. He must find her, no matter the risk, no matter the cost. After the international success of Promise to Make Mistakes, which sold 100,000 copies and ranked first in the world for several months, Chagas returns with a new and magnificent novel that will leave you agape, starving for more. It is a story of obsession, lies, obscure secrets and the deepest desires of the human soul. The truth under the surface is so inconceivable, it will force you to question everything you have ever known.
