"The fate of the world hangs on their choices... The past foretells her future..."
Zara Khatum is a warrior, a survivor, and a woman fueled by a thirst for vengeance. Haunted by the horrors inflicted on her and her Kurdish people, she seeks only retribution. But a hidden legacy, a powerful artifact, and a destiny woven through millennia threaten to reshape her life and the fate of the world.
Enter Peter Gollinger, a troubled Californian whose family is bound by an ancient mystery. He's plagued by dreams, visions of a dark-haired woman he must save. These visions lead him on a path that intertwines with Zara's, pulling them together in a race against time to unearth a secret that could alter the course of history.
The Matriarch Matrix is a whirlwind of adventure that spans centuries and continents. An archeological and mythical journey back to the world’s oldest temple, Gobekli Tepe, where a matriarch's legacy lives on in a powerful artifact hidden. Then, leap forward to a near-future world teetering on the brink of war, where Zara and Peter must unlock the secrets of their shared past to prevent a devastating conflict. They'll face ancient curses, dangerous adversaries, and the weight of a history they barely understand, all while navigating the treacherous landscape of modern politics and the struggle for peace in the Middle East.
This is a tale of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of truth. Zara, a woman defined by her strength and resilience, finds herself drawn to Peter, a man who is both vulnerable and determined. They are two halves of a whole, destined to complete a quest that began long ago.
Maxime Trencavel's masterful blend of historical fiction, science fiction, suspense, and romance will keep you on the edge of your seat. You'll be captivated by Zara's journey, challenged by the complex themes of faith and destiny, and enthralled by the romance that blossoms amidst the chaos.
Prepare to be transported to a world where ancient secrets and modern anxieties collide, where the lines between past and present blur, and where the power of love may be the only hope for salvation.
