In 1482, a child left at the door of a convent arouses everyone’s curiosity due to a peculiarity: a birthmark that, centuries before, was mentioned in a mysterious prophecy about the extinction of the evil Order of the Cross of Nero. It is based on this characteristic that Vera Cruz’s story unfolds and presents Jorge, the bearer of the brand, who grew up under the care of the church and full of doubts: after all, what messages do the nightmares so present in their nights want to pass on? About to open up the seas, Jorge is faced with dilemmas about his identity, mission, love, friendship and intrigues. 🇧🇷 Ficção histórica, conflitos internos e traições: conheça a história de Vera Cruz Ambientado na época das grandes navegações, Vera Cruz tem como ponto de partida a cidade portuguesa de Tomar. Em 1482, uma criança deixada na porta de um convento desperta a curiosidade de todos devido a uma peculiaridade: uma marca de nascença que, séculos antes, foi mencionada em uma misteriosa profecia sobre a extinção da maléfica Ordem da Cruz de Nero. É a partir dessa característica que a história de Vera Cruz se desdobra e apresenta Jorge, o portador da marca, que cresceu sob os cuidados da igreja e cheio de dúvidas: afinal, que mensagens os pesadelos tão presentes em suas noites querem passar? Prestes a desbravar os mares, Jorge se depara com dilemas sobre sua identidade, missão, amor, amizade e intrigas. Feita a partir de elementos históricos e de ficção misturados, Vera Cruz é, principalmente, uma história sobre maniqueísmo, relações humanas, amor e ódio. Feito a partir de pesquisas na literatura da época para garantir fidelidade à ambientação do romance, Vera Cruz tem seu ápice em terras brasileiras, com Jorge adulto e integrante da esquadra do mestre da Ordem de Cristo, Pedro Álvares Cabral. Uma verdadeira batalha em solo brasileiro, entre o bem e o mal, expõe angustias, traições, revelações, honra, bravura e o peso de um grande fardo! Mas será que Jorge está preparado para cumprir a profecia?
