Coming soon

Millions of years before empires, religions and the memory of History itself, Earth was merely the Blue World: a distant laboratory where the Spulves were developing a project capable of changing the fate of the universe.

Amid genetic experiments, military surveillance and lives treated as test subjects, an unexpected being rises against his creators. They call him Montarion. He will be the first.

After freeing the imprisoned humans and leading them to freedom, Montarion becomes more than a fugitive: he becomes the beginning of a lineage, a symbol and a mystery that will span millennia.

Meanwhile, Khar’Ka, a Spulve warrior and participant in Project Blue World, receives an order that will shape all future History: remain on Earth, observe the new species and decide whether it deserves to live.

Torn between loyalty to his people and the unease stirred by Montarion, Khar’Ka witnesses the birth of Humanity, the traces of an impossible legacy and the first step towards the secret that will one day lead to the name José Monteiro.

O Primeiro Montarion: A Origem Sombria da Humanidade reveals, on an epic scale, the true origin of Humanity, the birth of the Montarion myth and the first step of the guardian who, much later, will watch over the fate of the world.

José Monteiro said yes. Three times. And, for the first time since the start of the Great Cycles, the universes really started to converge. One year until the Union. Millions of realities are now heading for a single destiny. Worlds will vanish. Stories will cease to have existed. Entire civilizations will be wiped out. But Humanity will survive. Or at least, that's what everyone believed. In a universe far from the one where José Monteiro said the three “yeses”, there is an Earth unlike any other. The Earth that will remain. When convergence begins, the planet awakens to a truth that no civilisation knows: among the countless versions of Earth spread across universes, one will serve as the anchor for the Earth of the Unique Universe. And with this revelation comes another. For Humanity to cross the Union, at least one human from that Earth must remain alive when convergence ends. If the last one dies... the countless human civilizations of other universes will vanish with them. The Earth watches the species born on its surface. Wars. Extinctions. Polluted oceans. Destroyed forests. Altered atmosphere. Thousands of years of violence against the very world that made life possible. And it makes a decision. Humanity will not enter the new Universe. Thus begins the greatest war the human species has ever faced. There is no enemy army. No planet to escape to. No weapon capable of killing the opponent. Because the enemy is the ground beneath your feet. The oceans. The atmosphere. The climate. The Earth itself. As billions of humans disappear, José Monteiro begins to understand that disasters are not accidents. The planet is hunting them. And it has only one goal: to reduce the human population to zero before the Union. José and Alberto are dragged into a war where winning doesn't mean defeating the Earth. It only means surviving it. One year. Then months. Weeks. Days. Hours. Humanity is approaching the end while countless universes move towards convergence. And when only a few humans remain, the question that no one ever imagined having to answer will arise: who will be the last? José? Alberto? Someone else? Maybe no one knows. Because to save all of Humanity... it only takes one human being to keep breathing when the universes become one.

God watched Humanity for an eternity. Not just one Humanity. All of them. Infinite Earths. Thousands of millions of civilizations. Countless universes born from the stories of the Guardian Montarion. Worlds changed. Centuries changed. Stories changed. But humans kept repeating themselves. War. Hatred. Greed. Conquest. Destruction. World after world, Humanity grew, dominated the planet that created it and ended up carrying its conflicts to the stars. Until God came to a conclusion. Humanity wasn't an experiment that had gone wrong. It was a plague that had spread through creation itself. And He pronounced the sentence. The human species would be wiped out. Not from one Earth. Not from one Universe. From all of them. When the first humanities simply start to cease to exist, different versions of José Monteiro feel what none of them should be able to feel: other parts of themselves are disappearing. Soldiers. Kings. Scientists. Criminals. Writers. Men who saved Humanity. Men who failed. And Josés who became exactly what they swore to fight against. For the first time, versions of José Monteiro from realities that should never meet will have to fight side by side. But not everyone wants to stop God. Some believe He is right. And while a war begins to divide the Josés themselves, another impossibility is discovered. In all these realities, there is also an Alberto. God created the Multiverse. The Guardian created stories capable of becoming worlds. Now, the creatures of these stories will have to answer the question that could determine the future of all existence: If God created the possibility of life, does he also have the right to decide when a species has lost the right to exist? The war for Humanity will no longer be fought on Earth. It will be fought against its own Creator.

After the events of The Last Echo of Shadows: Ash and Blood, the confrontation between the children of José Monteiro and Alberto Costa — Azarado begins. Artificial Intelligence gains power and, divided, the children prepare for war.

Long before humans rose, two powerful races crossed paths in the depths of the universe: the enigmatic Spulves and the dominating Reptilians. What started as a meeting of exploration and curiosity quickly turned into an inevitable conflict. This trilogy reveals the origins of the ancient hatred between these species, the pact that promised peace... and the blood that sealed its end. The story that began a millennial war starts here.

Before the wars between humans and machines, before the wars between humans and aliens, there was Mars. A planet inhabited by a race of imposing giants, guardians of an ancient secret. But peace was broken with the arrival of the reptilians, ruthless strategists seeking power and control. This book tells the story of the great interplanetary showdown: the brutal attack of the reptilians on Mars, the desperate resistance of the colossi, and the beginning of a conflict. A tale of betrayal, destruction and origins, where giants and reptilians clashed and the galaxy was never the same again.

José Monteiro saved the Universe. No one remembers. After the merging of all realities, José woke up in Porto, in a world where Brunix, his children, the Druids, the Reptilians and all the civilizations he had known had never existed. Condemned to be the sole guardian of his memories, he turned everything he had lived into a collection of books that the world received as science fiction. Years later, a secret government organisation knocks on his door. Hidden from the world, this agency protects History through a single door capable of taking its travellers to any place and time in the past. All you have to do is walk through it thinking about the destination. The gate takes care of finding a place where no one can witness the arrival. For centuries, its agents have stopped wars, conspiracies and travellers from changing the course of Humanity. Until History itself starts to change. Messages addressed to José appear in places sealed for centuries. The Montarion symbol appears in ancient documents. Files describe events, creatures and civilizations that only exist in the books he wrote. Someone, or something, is altering the past to create an entry into this Universe. Recruited for being the only man able to recognise the marks of erased reality, José begins to travel through the centuries. But each mission reveals a part of a much bigger plan: a consciousness erased by the union of universes is changing History, event by event, to create its own origin and ensure that, this time, it will never be erased. And this entity knows the only price capable of making José betray the agency. The possibility of reclaiming Brunix, the children and everyone the Universe has stolen from him. While an invisible war spreads through the past, José will have to decide whether to protect a world built on forgetfulness or make way for the return of a doomed reality. Because the past did not die. It was forbidden to exist.

José Monteiro achieved what no Montarion had managed since the beginning of the Great Cycles. He negotiated with the Universe itself. He refused to become Emperor, prevented the convergence of realities and destroyed the seeds of the Artificial Intelligence that would lead to the War of the Heirs. For the first time, the future was no longer set in stone. But freedom came at a price. As part of the deal, when his human children turned twenty, they would be called to the Centre of the Universe. Gabriel and Daniel would gain access to the knowledge accumulated by the nine civilizations of the Council and would stop aging biologically. They would not be immortal. They wouldn’t fall ill or age, but they could die. They could be murdered. And no Primordial Law would condemn the species responsible for its death. Their mission would be to find what neither the Council, nor the Druids, nor the Universe itself ever discovered: a way to stabilise all universes without forcing them to merge into a single reality. Twenty years later, the call arrives. Prepared by Sofia through Spulve science, the history of the Universe, strategy, philosophy, and combat, the two brothers enter the Council as free men. They only have to appear once a year and can build their own lives. However, the universes remain wounded. The connections between realities are disappearing, and a time will come when no union, solution, or sacrifice can save them. In the Council's archives, Gabriel and Daniel discover that the answer might lie in a conclusion they reached as children: a portal does not truly transport a person through space. It convinces the Universe that they are already on the other side. If it is possible to convince the Universe that a person belongs elsewhere, maybe it is possible to make millions of universes recognise themselves as parts of the same system without destroying or merging them. To prove this theory, the brothers will have to cross borders that no civilisation has ever crossed, challenge the fundamental laws of existence and survive all those who prefer a known solution to an impossible hope. But the time that stopped passing through their bodies will continue to take the people they love. And when Gabriel and Daniel start defending different paths to save existence, they will discover that the greatest danger might not be in the dying universes. It could be between the two of them. José Monteiro broke the prophecy. Now, his children will have to show that a future without a set path deserves to survive.

He helped create Humanity to win a war. For millions of years, he became their only guardian. When the Spulves leave the Blue World, Khar’Ka receives one last mission: to stay on Earth, watch the evolution of the new species, and alert his people if humans become a threat. Forbidden to interfere, he must travel through the millennia in suspension chambers, waking only to assess the progress of the experiment. But from the first awakening, Khar’Ka realises something is wrong. Humans not only survived but started spreading across the planet. Among them runs the blood of Montarion, the strange being who freed the first prisoners from the Spulves laboratories and announced the return of the one who gave him his name. The more Khar’Ka investigates this lineage, the more events he finds that shouldn’t exist: symbols carved before the civilizations that created them, messages written in languages yet to be born, and prophecies that seem to know the future. Across the ages, Khar’Ka witnesses the birth and fall of civilizations. He sees visitors from the stars presenting themselves as gods, human empires turned into instruments of extraterrestrial wars, and hidden forces vying for the dominion of Earth. Unable to remain indifferent, he starts defying the Spulves' orders, protecting people, destroying secret armies and erasing from History the traces of those who sought to enslave Humanity. Every intervention, however, brings him closer to what he fears most: becoming a traitor in the eyes of his own people. Centuries later, among the Mayans, Khar’Ka finds a stone older than any known time travel. On it is inscribed an impossible name: José Monteiro. The name of a man written long before Portugal, the Portuguese language, or the world he will be born in existed. The discovery starts a quest that will cross continents and millennia. Human secret societies become the heirs to the knowledge of Khar’Ka. Some swear to protect Montarion's prophecy; others believe that José will be responsible for the end of the Universe and try to prevent his birth. Meanwhile, old enemies return, false gods regain strength, and the Spulves begin to suspect that their sentinel has stopped being just an observer. As Humanity enters the century of wars, machines and weapons capable of destroying the planet, Khar’Ka faces its greatest doubt: does the species it has protected for millions of years really deserve to survive? The answer will come when the creators return to the Blue World to complete the trial that began at the dawn of Humanity. Facing the threat of extermination, the Heirs of the Secret search for the man whose name has crossed time, while Khar’Ka discovers that Montarion was never just a lineage. It’s a cycle. And José Monteiro is the event that all of History has been preparing for. Torn between loyalty to his people and love for the species he watched grow, Khar’Ka will have to break the oath that kept him captive on Earth and make one final choice: hand Humanity over to its creators or start a war that could doom all the civilizations he swore to protect. Because Khar’Ka was left on Earth to decide when Humanity should die. But his creators never imagined he would learn to believe in it.
