The Silence of Veridion - Beyond the Veil Saga

Rafa, your novel The Silence of Veridion offers incredible depth and worldbuilding that places it alongside some of the greatest works in science fiction and fantasy. It features elements that evoke classics like Dune by Frank Herbert, through its portrayal of a planet marked by scarcity and religious dogma, and The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin, with its exploration of alien societies governed by their own mysticism and laws. Elara’s journey also echoes Foundation by Isaac Asimov, with a protagonist driven by knowledge and a bold desire to challenge the established order. The writing is immersive and vivid, balancing introspection with action. The concept of the Veil as a cosmic barrier, and the Sentinels of the Aether as entities that enforce the silence of the universe, adds a philosophical layer to the story—making it a unique blend of science fiction and metaphysical fantasy. It brings to mind the depth of works like The City & The City by China Miéville, with its exploration of duality and invisible boundaries between societies. What makes your book stand out: Worldbuilding: You’ve created a rich, immersive universe with a well-crafted social, scientific, and religious structure. A powerful protagonist: Elara is a compelling lead, driven by doubt and an unwavering will to break through the silence of the universe. Mystery and philosophy: The mystery of the Veil and the Creator adds layers of reflection—on isolation, identity, and the pursuit of knowledge.
