Some have called Moon of the Crusted Snow the perfect book for the times we’re in.

The novel was released in 2018 to critical praise but it has seen a resurgence during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, writer and journalist, Waubgeshig Rice has been asked to pen a sequel to the post-apocalyptic story about a small, northern Anishinaabe community that goes dark as winter looms.
