When a mysterious clock is discovered in 2024, four unlikely travelers — a renowned historian, a physics student, a curious young man, and a friar torn from the 19th century — are thrust into a dizzying odyssey through time.

From the ancestral silence of the 9th century to Lisbon devastated by the 1755 earthquake, and into the threats of a dystopian future, they cross paths with figures who shaped — and continue to shape — the destiny of Portugal: King Afonso Henriques, King Sebastian, the Marquis of Pombal…

But not all stories have been told with justice. And some names, lost in the mists of memory, await in silence for a second chance to rewrite their legacy.

As the Guardians of Time and the Temporal Custody wage a secret war for control of collective memory, the travelers face moral dilemmas, temporal paradoxes, and the greatest battle in History.

Road of Past is an epic fusion of historical fiction, fantasy, and science, where time itself is not merely a backdrop but the true protagonist.

Can the mistakes of the past be redeemed? Are we masters of our destiny, or only echoes of decisions already made?
