Volume 1 On the Arctic shores of Great Bear Lake, stones are about to be upturned.
Archaeology student and avid runner Erin Amyntas is spending the summer at a dig in Canada's North, where the local Dene Council has asked the team to excavate a possible village site. What they find instead—an inexplicable construct made of strange, dark material—disrupts everything that is known and understood about humankind and threatens the very foundation of the modern world.
Mysteries start to pile up as Erin meets Henry, a local guide who is also a runner. While running together under the disorienting light of the midnight sun, Henry reveals stories of his own. Erin is soon protecting secrets from all sides and struggling to make sense of the discoveries. As more is found, she becomes caught up in fake news, betrayal, and international intrigue.
Truth hums just below the surface in this gripping, fast-paced adventure story that spans the Canadian North, Newfoundland, and South America. While the world around them rushes to create easy answers, Erin and Henry must uncover the truth of the past—before it’s too late.
Volume 2 After the discovery made in volume 1, Henry and Erin travel to distant places with the help of fellow guide Garnet in their search for the answers to the many mysteries they uncover. Exploring in secret, they risk the entire archaeological project in their quest to discover the past.

ENTHRALLING
In his debut novel, Mark S. Winfield, has masterfully woven an intricate tale largely set in the
Canadian north where the natural world collides head on with mysteries of ancient histories. It’s
a deep, rich, and layered story that leaves the reader breathless and in wonderment at the
universe of possibilities.
With the skill of a seasoned storyteller, Winfield weaves an intriguing tale of discovery that takes
readers on a mysterious and enthralling journey, causing one to question those things we have
been taught and things we have always taken for granted—the realities we thought we knew.
Winfield aptly captures the virgin beauty of the northern world transporting readers to a place
few of us will ever see or experience firsthand. The raw setting of the frozen, unspoiled northern
environs serves the story well, amplifying the mounting tension as the mystery is purposefully
revealed layer by layer.
At its core, The Mystery of The Stones of Great Bear Lake, is a mystery but it opens up the many possibilities of our past and brings into question the very existence of humankind. With intimate details of various locations across Canada and extensive knowledge of remote northern regions, Winfield artfully spins this intricate story with such knowledge that it leaves the reader wondering how much is reality and how much is fiction, and he does it remarkably well.
