WARRIORS OF THE LAST DAYS MOOD BOARD

The visual identity for Warriors of the Last Days is anchored in the brutal reality of an urban collapse. It rejects high-tech, polished dystopian aesthetics in favor of a heavy, tactile, and rusted world.

Through a palette of ash and oxidized metal, stripped-down utilitarian typography, and visceral, gritty textures, the design forces the viewer directly onto the crumbling, unforgiving streets of a dead country.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

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.
