Three weeks before the night at the Meridiano, Marco was fired. At the bar, he met Íara. She said: 'Sit down.' He sat down. That was the first choice he couldn't undo.
Marco begins to see what was always there - the patterns beneath words, the architecture of decisions people believe are free. The opening is a gift. It is also a risk. There are groups that want to register every new Carrier. There are others that want to use the opening for darker ends. And there is Íara, who guided him through the crossing and who may not be who she seems.
As Marco navigates between the Velantes and A Brasa, his life begins to unravel. The landlord wants the flat back. The school opens a disciplinary process. A sixteen-year-old student feels his involuntary reading and doesn't understand what's happening to her.
And Augusto Santos, the old bookseller who gave him the answers Íara withheld, is in danger.
The Crossing is a novel about guilt, self-deception and the price of seeing clearly. There are no heroes. There are people who fail, who try to repair what they've done, and who discover that some things cannot be undone.
