The Mateo Paradox

A novel by R. Leon

Two Millennia. One Soul. No Escape.

One man. Two thousand years.

In 2025, the world is dying from the Screaming Death. Mateo Leon, a historian who has lost everything, triggers an ancient power that casts him back to 55 BC Alexandria.

He carries the only hope for the future: the seeds of the legendary Golden Sap. But planting them is only the beginning. To save a family that will not exist for centuries, Mateo must survive the full sweep of human history—protecting the lineage of the cure through stabbings, sieges, betrayals, and the fall of empires.

The flame must be carried.
The cost must be paid.
And the man who endures can never stop walking.
