COMING 2028.
After the Fall. A City born of the past’s excess.
Two factions. One final outcome.

One group of Scavengers had turned the old mall into a fortress city and tried and restarted a semblance of civilization in their parts of Canada. They called it the World and became the Worlders.

Everything was going as well as could be after a nuclear fallout until another nomadic tribe of scavengers (a scavenge) fell upon them and decided they where done moving around. And the Carrions didn’t want roommates…

A man and woman standing face to face in a ruined post-nuclear city with a massive explosion in the background.

LABRADOR

Three survivors in a snowy, post-apocalyptic landscape face giant, alien-like creatures looming over a ruined industrial site.

COMING 2028.

A French nurse on a mission to head West across Canada passes through Labrador. She leaves nothing behind but footprints in the snow. Or so she thinks.

In Wabush, the Purification Movement holds that the Light was God’s punishment for the sins of the old world. To prevent another Blinding, they enforce absolute normality among the survivors: humans, animals, plants. Anything that deviates is a blasphemy. They recently hanged a fourteen-year-old girl for having six toes.

Within days of the nurse’s passage, the boreal forest begins to move. Trees that were already changing, already wrong, complete their transformation into something that hunts humans.

And when their hallucinogenic pollen floods the town, it strips away every wall the community’s hidden mutants have ever built, broadcasting what they are to everyone around them.

The Purge already has a rope. What it doesn’t have is a theology for mutated walking spruce trees and the caterpillars that used to feed off them.

The Day of the Chrysalids is a novel set in the Canada of Warriors of the Last Days universe.

Inspired by the work of John Wyndham.

Release: March 2028.

A man piloting a small boat through debris-filled waters in a post-apocalyptic landscape at sunset.

Coming 2028.

A man in a red work jumpsuit leans against a large truck on a desolate, northern road under the aurora borealis.

COMING 2029

A woman and man in fur-lined parkas stand in a snowy, sunlit post-apocalyptic landscape with sled dogs.

DOMINION OF DAMNATION: THE LONG LIGHT (2028)

Agent Stevenson has never worked a file he couldn’t close.

He didn’t expect Kimmirut to be any different: recruit the local person with the survival skills the mission needs, keep the antibiotic moving, be back at the office in a week. He definitely didn’t expect Ayalik, who has no patience for men who think their paperwork matters out here, and even less for the idea that she needs him for anything at all.

But somewhere between the sled dogs, a blizzard that shouldn’t exist, and a warning built from stone that he can’t read and she won’t explain, Stevenson starts falling for a woman who was never going to make this easy on him.

She is, without question, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Out of a population of four hundred and twenty-six. But still. And he picked her for the mission.

Between the giant snow worms, the rabid polar bears, and the caribou people who are not, strictly speaking, caribou, there isn’t a lot of time left over for romance.

They make time anyway.

This time, love finds a way. So does something else.


A man and a woman in heavy, snow-covered winter gear stand close together in a snowy landscape, facing each other in front of an igloo.
A scene from the dystopian novel series Warriors of the Last Days.

THE WEDDING

A Dominion of Damnation Story
Ayalik survived the apocalypse. She survived the Dominion of Damnation. She even survived the infuriating Agent Stevenson. Somehow, she fell in love with him anyway.

Book cover for 'Death Row': A warrior woman with a shotgun, ruined guard tower, razor wire, and overgrown wall.

QUEBEC CITY

A lone figure stands on the deck of a sailing ship at sunset, flying a Canadian flag with a heart and arrow symbol.

COMING 2028.
THE MAID

After the Light, the St. Lawrence became the only road that mattered. Whoever controlled the river controlled everything else.

Marie-Anne did not choose the Kingz. They chose her. When a corsair named Phil overthrew them, she watched him become what he had destroyed. Then she took the river from him too.

The waterway now knows her only as the Maid. A legend with no face. A flag bearing a pierced heart with a single arrow through it. She asks nothing of those who cannot pay and takes everything from those who can.

Then a wanderer drifts in from the east with a giant fisherman and a Bible-quoting lunatic at his side. No fleet. No authority. No name anyone would recognize. But he looks at her flag in a way that tells her he knows exactly what that arrow means.

WARRIORS OF THE LAST DAYS UNIVERSE
SHORT STORIES SET IN MONTREAL, CANADA

Cover for 'The Front' showing giant locusts swarming a ruined, burning city with a bridge under a dark, smoky sky.


The Front is a novel set in Saskatchewan in the Canada of Warriors of the Last Days universe, where the city is confronted to a terrifying mutated locusts storm. As if the nuclear apocalypse and the long winter that followed was not enough…

The numbers used to live on screens. Now, they have teeth.


Inside a deteriorating house in a ruined Saskatoon, the walls are closing in long before the horizon changes.

Troy, a broken former finance executive, spends his days obsessively calculating water rations and clinging to the ghost of his lost status.

His wife, Jenny, once a highly curated trophy partner, has been forced into a fierce, unblinking pragmatism, managing the house with a cold clarity while trying not to drown in the bitter, silent warfare of their dying marriage.

Down the hall, their teenage son, Liam, frantically logs empty radio frequencies to drown out their arguments, while eleven-year-old Clara retreats to the garden, feeding worms to a heavy, lead-veined insect she treats like a pet and calls Pewter.

Then, on a Tuesday morning at exactly 11:14 AM, the howling prairie gales cut out entirely.

In the suffocating stillness, a kilometres-wide wall of absolute darkness surges over the northern bluffs. It is a compounding, multi-million-bodied horde of mutated, semi-metallic locusts, insects with lead veining the chitin, making them nearly indestructible, and driven by a single, rolling collective mind that shaves the landscape to the bone.

As the windows shatter inward and the heavy carapaces begin to chew through the drywall, the family’s domestic fronts completely shatter.

To survive the night, they must get through a visceral, zero-sum war of pure survival.

COMING 2027

** St-Pierre & Miquelon islands are technically part of the country of France, not Canada, but they are in North America and 19 km from Newfoundland. So close enough.


When radio contact with the mainland fails, Préfet Marcel Pelletier must hold his islands together, rationing supplies and authority, before winter and the breakdown of order make survival impossible.
RELEASE: March 2027

A woman in a black mask and tactical gear steers a wooden boat through stormy waters past shipwrecks.

STORIES ACROSS CANADA: Group of undead figures in Victorian attire walking through a snowy, metal cemetery gate labeled YOOP.
A group of frozen, undead figures emerging from a snowy cemetery gate in the Yukon wilderness.

Thirty years after the Light, the Yukon sky turned green on the eve of Christmas. Then, the dead woke up.

Three decades of isolation have turned Dawson City into a hard, stubborn relic of the old world.

Inside the Sourdough Saloon, before Christmas, the town handles a different kind of crisis: a lack of survivors and the end of any postal service have left the legendary sourtoe jar completely empty, threatening to kill a century-old Klondike tradition.

Edouard Marsh, a meticulous local who long ago sacrificed his own digit to the jar, can only watch as the frontier loses another piece of its history.

But the Yukon isn’t done with them yet.

Since he lost his toe to a wolverine, Edward has been plagued with phantom limb syndrome that acts up usually before bad storms, which is more often than not. But today, today, something is up. It never hurt so much…

That night, a freak atmospheric event unleashes a violent aurora borealis across the northern territory. The energetic green sky ionizes the air, activating thirty years of accumulated radioactive fallout packed deep inside the Yukon Orders of Pioneers (YOOP) cemetery.

Out of the shattered permafrost rise The Frozen Damned, brittle, freezer-burned ghouls from 1898 with wood-bark skin and muscle dense as cured leather. Driven by a chemical, heat-seeking aggression, they swarm the settlement in a desperate hunt for living thermal energy and moisture. Warm blood will do just fine.

To survive the night, Dawson City must wage a visceral, all-night war with axes and fuel-oil fires against a horde that doesn’t bleed and does not behave like traditional zombies. Because of course they don’t.  This is the Yukon.

But when the green sky fades and the living stand among mountains of shattered, frozen carapaces, Edouard realizes the battle is only the beginning.

Because a true Klondiker never lets a resource go to waste.

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.
