When Martha and Finn's marriage hangs in the balance, they embark on a journey to the mysterious Salt Centre, nestled deep within the Bolivian salt flats. Guided by an elusive shaman, they participate in a series of salt ceremonies designed to promote spiritual enlightenment. As hallucinogenic episodes unfold, each participant is forced to confront their own version of reality. The final ceremony descends into chaos, presenting Martha and Finn with an ultimatum that challenges them to grapple with the moral implications of their trip. Will they find a way to heal old wounds, or will some scars run too deep? This gripping novel explores the boundaries between spirituality and darkness, weaving a spellbinding narrative that is both deeply human and unsettlingly eerie.
