Veronica Rossi is a best-selling young adult author who became known for her debut Under the Never Sky trilogy (2011-2014). Its success was followed by the apocalyptic Riders duology (2016-2017) and Rebel Spy (2020), an historical standalone, before her return to her debut trilogy in 2023 with the release of Roar of the Tides—focused on Roar and his romance. Rossi describes herself as a lifelong learner who enjoys continuously nourishing her brain.
Like it has for many other stories, Under the Never Sky formed from a hypothetical question. Rossi wondered what would happen if a character from a primitive society was thrown together with a character from a highly advanced society. From that “what-if?” sprouted questions about what caused their divide and what was preventing the primitive society’s advancement.
Some of Rossi’s favorite books include An Ember in the Ashes, Ender’s Game, and The Hunger Games, which evidence her interest in the science fiction and dystopian genres. Rossi claims the connecting factor in all her favorite stories is their compelling characters. She loves to fall in love with characters who feel deeply, have complex wants, and live in lush and vivid worlds that have the power to transport her mentally. When creating characters, Rossi focuses on their character arcs and what they are looking for.
