As an independent creator, my production costs are higher than those of large mainstream publishers. I don’t have access to bulk-printing discounts or industrial-scale distribution, so the retail price of my books naturally sits a little higher. In return, I’ve tried to offer as much value as possible — premium materials, original illustrations, and a book designed to feel like a lasting object rather than something disposable.
By choosing to support indie work, you’re helping projects like this continue to exist.
About the Book
The Silent Dance of Stars is a haunting and poetic work of mythic fantasy, where the boundaries between memory, dream, and death dissolve beneath a vast desert sky.
It begins in Memphis—a city of high-rises, tarmac, and restless heat—where Abe awakens to fragments of a life he no longer remembers and a love that refuses to die. Following faint echoes through layers of reality, he begins a journey away from the city’s concrete sprawl and into the desert’s silence, where the stars whisper, shadows move between worlds, and love itself becomes a form of resistance.
But the past is not easily reclaimed. As strange forces bleed into his waking life, Abe is hunted by the Jackal—a relentless enforcer of an unseen cosmic order determined to erase what he has rediscovered.
Both intimate and cosmic in scope, The Silent Dance of Stars explores the persistence of love, the weight of memory, and the thin veils between lives.
Themes and Style
Drawing on magical realism, lyrical prose, and esoteric symbolism, the novel blends emotional depth with philosophical reflection. Each chapter opens with a hand-illustrated tarot card, serving as both a visual key and narrative echo. Correia’s landscapes—from the shimmering skyline of Memphis to the mythic expanse of the desert—are not merely settings but living thresholds: places that watch, remember, and transform.
A Book as Object
This is not simply a novel to read—it is a work to hold, to keep, to revisit. No digital edition will ever be released. The book has been designed as a collectible art object, printed in cloth-bound hardcover with a dust jacket and integrated artwork by the author. Select illustrations from the book are available as museum-quality giclée prints through Correia’s online store.

Collected Works 2020-2023
Step inside the creative world of multimedia designer and artist Ciro Correia with this illustrated artbook, written in the style of a personal journal of thoughts and recollections, capturing works from 2020 to 2023. Blending striking visuals with reflective writing, it documents the evolution of his style and the stories behind each piece.
Created during a pivotal chapter — after immigrating to the UK and navigating challenges like depression and social anxiety — this book reveals how reconnecting with art became both therapy and transformation. Each page offers not only bold, imaginative illustrations but also candid insights into creativity, resilience, and rediscovery.
Part art collection, part journal of lived experience, this book is both an inspiration and an intimate look into the artist’s journey.
