Description
In the harsh Arctic landscape, The Qimmit-loyal sled dogs-have lived alongside The People for countless generations, bound by trust, survival, and love. But when The Authority arrives with new laws disguised as progress, families face an impossible choice: register their dogs as property or lose them forever. As bureaucratic "health measures" become systematic persecution, one outcast qimmit named Quixote tries to warn everyone of the coming destruction. Most dismiss him as mad-until the killings begin. Told through the voices of dogs, children, and families caught in this escalating nightmare, QUIXOTE is a haunting tale of resistance, courage, and the power of stories to preserve hope when everything else is lost. When adults fail to protect the innocent, children must become heroes. When law becomes murder, love becomes rebellion. Some call him mad. Some call him prophet. But Quixote's story-and the stories of all who refuse to surrender-will outlive those who try to silence them. A powerful allegory about how ordinary people become complicit in atrocity, and how the powerless can find extraordinary strength to fight back.
Book 2: The destruction of dogs begins in earnest. Father breaks down when forced to choose between his family's survival and his dogs' lives, unable to pull the trigger but helpless to stop The Authority...
