T.C. Williams

In a haunted version of Washington, D. C.'s forgotten neighborhoods, something sinister ticks beneath the surface-The Blood Clock, a government-built machine engineered to wipe out the memories, histories, and futures of Black and Brown communities across America. Zion Moore, a 17-year-old with visions etched in glowing eyes and the power to blink through space and time, uncovers the truth about the country's most horrific secret: the U.
S. government is rewriting time to commit cultural genocide. His best friend-and soon, his lover-Soleil Reyes, a sheroic teen with shapeshifting abilities and telepathy rooted in Afro-Caribbean and Latinx ancestry, holds the key to spiritual resistance passed down through brujería and voodoo. Guided by two ancient queens-one of Voodoo, one of Brujería-they must survive police brutality, supernatural government experiments, and sundown town terror tactics resurrected by a president more demon than man.
With jump scares, ancestral magic, and a revolution igniting from the ashes of trauma, The Last Hour is a terrifying and electric Black horror saga about erasure, memory, love, and rage. It asks:What if the final war for freedom wasn't fought with bullets...?But with the power to remember who we are?
