Rafael Ferraz Carneiro

The Veridion Saga was born from a conversation about cosmic silence: the Fermi paradox, the SETI program and the possibility of advanced civilizations we have never heard.

From that question came Veridion, Elara and the Veil, the barrier that separates the worlds. Rafael created the universe, the characters, the worlds and the creatures, and wrote the complete saga in four books.

Rafael does not follow a specific religion, but he believes in God, in a Creator, and wonders whether we are alone in the universe.

The Veil came from that question. In the story it is a cosmic barrier; outside it, a metaphor for the isolations of real life.

The saga is about characters searching for their own identity in a universe that tries to silence them.

Aetherion, the dreamless planet of Shadows of the Veil, stands for the institutionalized fear of imagining, in an age of subtle manipulation.

Three universes shaped Rafael as a storyteller: The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and anime.

From The Lord of the Rings comes the taste for worlds with a past of their own, with peoples, ruins and legends that existed before the story began. From Star Wars, the adventure between planets and the certainty that a space saga is, at heart, about people. From anime, the intensity of emotion and the freedom to combine action, spirituality and silence.

The most important influence is his family. It is the emotional origin of the saga and of what is most human in the story: the bonds that withstand time and distance.

The story was conceived with the screen in mind. The goal is for it to cross borders, reach readers in many countries and be adapted into series or films.

Rafael is looking for publishers, agents and partners who see the potential of the narrative.
