Have you ever felt that something needed to fall apart? Then perhaps this book is your crossing. Nigredo is a psychological and symbolic novel inspired by the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung. In alchemy, nigredo is the first stage of transformation: the moment of decomposition, when the old must die so that something new can be born. In the soul, it is the encounter with the shadow-everything we deny, hide, or fear. The dark crossing that precedes any light. Leandro is a married man-rational, contained, and controlled. Clara is a drifting artist, impulsive, driven by voids she can't seem to fill. They weren't looking for each other, but they meet. And it's not love at first sight, it's confrontation, desire and disgust, attraction and escape. Both begin to fall apart from within, forced to face parts of themselves they've always avoided. Amid casual encounters, exhausting routines, unsettling dreams, and loaded silences, Leandro and Clara spiral inward. Nothing is simple. Nothing is light. This is not a love story. It's a story about the collapse of the persona, about getting lost to, maybe, perhaps, have a chance to be found. If you seek intense, raw, emotionally charged stories, with symbols, psychological tension, and existential depth, Nigredo will pass through you.
