A dystopian novel series set in post-nuclear CanadaPost-Apocalyptic Montreal reimagines the city after systemic collapse — where winter lingers longer than it should, infrastructure mutates into fortresses, and neighborhoods become isolated enclaves shaped by scarcity and memory. In these stories, familiar landmarks stand altered: the skyline fractured, the river encroaching, transit tunnels repurposed, institutional architecture hardened into instruments of control or survival.
This category explores survival in a northern metropolis marked by nuclear fallout, ecological instability, technological overreach, or bureaucratic optimization. Microclimates distort once-stable districts. Communities reorganize around resources, ideology, and territory. Power concentrates in unexpected places — stadiums, quarries, towers, underground corridors — while ordinary citizens navigate shifting alliances, ration systems, and the psychological cost of endurance.
Blending dystopian structure with post-apocalyptic landscape, these narratives examine resilience, authority, resistance, and the fragile persistence of culture in a city that refuses to disappear. Montreal becomes more than a setting; it becomes a pressure system — testing loyalty, memory, and what it means to rebuild in the shadow of collapse.
Explore fiction where the end of one Montreal reveals the fault lines of the next.

Making the Teaser That Nearly Broke Us When we began work on the teaser for The Spark, we expected intensity. We did not expect resistance. Book IV of Warriors of the Last Days is about ignition: pressure accumulated over three volumes finally finding flame. It felt only right that its teaser would burn hotter, move faster, strike deeper. Instead, we stalled. The iconic Montreal Olympic Stadium...
Why This TEASER Trailer for the Drift Felt Different Of the three teasers we’ve created so far for Warriors of the Last Days, The Drift was the easiest. And the most fun. Not because it was simpler. Because it was looser. You can watch the teaser here: THE DRIFT TRAILER The Refusal required precision. It introduced the philosophy: engineered ritual, structural obedience, institutional control...
Inside Book II of Warriors of the Last Days When we began building the teaser trailer for Exodus, Book II of Warriors of the Last Days, we knew it had to feel different from The Refusal trailer. Book I was containment: corridors, ritual, engineered obedience. Exodus is movement. You can watch the teaser trailer here: THE EXODUS TRAILER Expanding the World Beyond the Stadium The first trailer...
We Had 90 Seconds to Explain a World That Took Years to Build. When we started designing the first trailer for The Refusal, we faced a problem: How do you explain a philosophy in a minute and a half? Not just a plot. Not just characters. A worldview. Watch it here: THE REFUSAL TRAILER The Ink Was Never Just Ink The spreading black forms in the trailer’s text portions aren’t decoration. They...
THE WORLD ENDED. Then reorganized. Transformed. First, collapse. Then, succession.

A Post-Apocalyptic Dystopian Novel Series Set in Canada Warriors of the Last Days is a four-book dystopian series set in post-nuclear Canada. The first chapter in the series is set in...
CREATURES APPEARANCES Across the four books of the Montreal series, the creatures are not random horrors, they are symptoms. Some crawl from water long forgotten by sunlight. Some bloom quietly in stone. Some move in air thick with ash and memory. Others are almost human, until they are not. Each one reflects the system that shaped it: pressure made flesh, adaptation turned predatory, survival...
A dystopian novel series set in post-nuclear Canada
Stéphane Roy is a lifelong reader and writer with a deep love for science fiction, apocalyptic worlds, and tightly constructed mysteries. This is his first novel. He lives in the Yukon with his dog and his aquarium, where long winters, silence, and wide, sometimes glowing, skies leave plenty of room for imagining the end of the world, and what might come after it. He is also waiting, with cautious optimism, for the aliens to finally reveal themselves and straighten us all out.
