Immersion and Enthusiasm
Lucas Cabral and the Secret of the Amazon follows a group of guardians who must scramble to protect three newborn warriors while themselves being hunted by the Lord of Darkness. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
This story was born from a moment of inspiration during a trip, while listening to the song “I Save the World Today” by the Eurythmics. The narrative is structured into five fundamental parts and explores the eternal struggle between Good and Evil. It begins with an epic battle between a thousand Templar knights and a creature determined to destroy humanity. A surviving Master Templar prophesies the birth of three Warriors with special gifts who, together, will be the only hope for victory. For a millennium, while the Enemy’s servants have relentlessly searched for these children, a secret Brotherhood has been formed to protect them. Each Warrior of Light is assigned a Guardian who is prepared to give their life for them if necessary.
What is it that draws you to action and adventure tales?
I love writing stories filled with action, mystery, and adventure because I know how effectively they engage young readers – a mission I consider deeply important. When a theme is truly exciting, readers become so enthralled that they cannot put the book down, remaining captivated from the first to the very last page. Creating that sense of immersion and enthusiasm is exactly what draws me to this genre!
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
Beyond the classic battle between Good and Evil, I wanted to explore fundamental values such as solidarity, companionship, and loyalty. Environmentalism and ecology are also central themes; I wanted to raise awareness about the risks the Amazon rainforest faces due to unbridled ambition, greed, and the short-sightedness of those who put our entire planet in danger.
Can you give us a glimpse inside the next installment in this series? Where will it take readers?
The next book will be Fernão Dias and the Mystery of the Black Stones. It features the third Warrior of Light, born in Angola, who possesses very different gifts from those of Sofia Gama and Lucas Cabral. It is an incredibly emotional and thrilling book that continues this global mission to protect the Light.

Lucas Cabral and the Secret of the Amazon: The Warriors of Light Series
Lucas Cabral and the Secret of the Amazon sweeps through prophecy, danger, and a race against time as ancient forces stir and evil claws its way toward freedom. The story moves from a cursed Templar temple to modern Brazil, where the birth of three extraordinary children sends shockwaves through the world. As Brotherhood guardians scramble to protect the newborn Warriors of Light, sinister servants of the Lord of Darkness hunt them across continents. The book blends myth, adventure, and heartfelt human moments in a tale about destiny, courage, and the fragile balance between good and evil.
This was an exciting story, and I felt the excitement right from the beginning. The writing has a bold, cinematic quality. At times, it feels intense, even breathless, because danger lurks behind so many corners. I loved how the book shifts between sweeping prophecy and very grounded moments, especially the scenes with Rafael navigating airports while holding onto fear and faith at the same time. The mix of mysticism and real-world tension pulled me along, and that slow but steady buildup was thrilling.
I also felt a warm connection to the characters. Rafael’s devotion struck me deeply. He’s not flashy or loud. He’s steady and scared and determined, which made him feel real to me. Tendy and Paulo brought softness and heart into the story, and the Amazon setting felt rich and alive. There were moments when I wished the pacing slowed down to give me more time with them, but even then, I admired how the author kept the story moving along. The ideas in the book made me think about legacy and responsibility and how ordinary people rise when the world seems to be falling apart.
By the time I reached the last pages, I felt both satisfied and curious about what comes next. I would recommend this book to readers who love fast-moving adventures, mythical prophecies, and stories where ordinary characters carry extraordinary burdens. It’s a great pick for anyone who enjoys young adult fantasy with a global scope and a good dose of heart.
