Final Chanss by Alan Mitchell follows the life of Chanss, the anointed and hopeful Savior and Messiah of the Contingent, a demonic cult set on earthly land. With this great power comes expectations too much for a “normal” child; he experiences a frightful, lonely childhood away from his mother as he is forced to focus on his ultimate task: what he was born for. Locked away, ridiculed, and brainwashed, the Contingent will do what it sees as best and needed for their promised Messiah. As Chanss gets older and seeks reprieve during the night, he meets Lydian, the daughter of a local farmer, and as time passes, their friendship blossoms into more- into something foreign and wonderful for him, who has experienced no love nor reciprocation from anyone. When tragedy occurs, Chanss embarks on a self-proclaimed mission to uncover his family and right the wrongs they committed, utilizing assistance from some unlikely people along the way.
