THE FEELING OF BEING READY
FEELING READY: MAKING PROGRESS There is something exciting about how the body feels when you know you are close to something. Close to the finish line, close to finishing the manuscript. We just completed The Lullaby: A Song for the Last Days, inspired by the music video we recently edited, set in the Warriors of the Last Days universe. As usual, it was meant to start as one thing, some sort of...
Warriors of the Last Days Cover Reveal
Exclusive First Look COVER REVEAL Book I: The Refusal I’ve been sitting on this cover reveal for a while now, and I’ll be honest, it’s been hard to keep quiet about it. Warriors of the Last Days started as a question I couldn’t shake: what happens to ordinary people when everything collapses at once? Not just governments or infrastructure, but the assumptions we live by:...
POST-APOCALYPTIC LULLABY
The Post-Apocalyptic Lullaby That Started Everything Before the spark. Before the resistance. Before any of it, there was a song. A Lullaby.The world in Warriors of the Last Days is post-nuclear Montreal stripped to its bones: ashen skies, System towers, creatures that shouldn’t exist, and people learning to survive inside the ruins of everything they used to know. It is not a gentle world...
Forging the Spark TEASER
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...
Making the Teaser Trailer for The Drift
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...
Designing the 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...
CHARACTERS – BOOK I
BOOK I: THE REFUSAL CHARACTERS BOOK II CHARACTERS BOOK III CHARACTERS BOOK IV CHARACTERS WANT TO KNOW MORE? UNA THE GIRL FROM THE STONE Una learned early how to endure. She is not driven by belief or destiny. She moves because stopping is dangerous, because motion keeps the past from closing its grip. Her intelligence is practical, bodily, forged through repetition and loss. She reads...

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.
