Gimli, a Manitoba lakeside community 75 km north of Winnipeg, grew from an 1875 Icelandic settlement called New Iceland into a multicultural hub of fishing, agriculture, and tourism. After hardships, epidemics, and a military era, the town preserved its heritage through festivals, museums, and a historic general store, balancing cultural identity and the present.

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.
