Northern Ontario, 1993.
When the power goes out in the isolated city of Lex, its people are trapped in a nightmare of darkness and fear. Cut off from the outside world, the district falls under the iron grip of cult leader Malcolm Gabbo, a man who takes whatever he wants-and now he wants Leah Hollen's son.
Leah thought she would do anything to protect Adam. She never imagined she would have to save him from his own father. With the help of Kai, a defiant young Indigenous man, Leah embarks on a desperate fight for survival against a ruthless cult and the madness consuming Lex.
As the city descends into chaos, ordinary people must confront extraordinary choices. Who will resist? Who will surrender? And who will discover the strength to stand when the world goes to hell?
A gripping psychological thriller filled with suspense, cult intrigue, survival drama, and the unbreakable bond between mother and child,
The Last Boy will keep you turning pages late into the night.
This story isn't just read. It's survived.
Never come between a mother and her son.
