The First Chronicle of Zayashariya: OUT OF NIGHT is a story of sorcery, slaughter, and struggle with self. Out of Night provides a spiritual twist that unites fantasy and science fiction with the battle with faith and the numinous world. Zayashariya abandons her birthright and escapes the planet Night on a spaceship destined for freedom. Once she flees, she unexpectedly arrives in the town of Wilzasp where she is blamed for the sudden rising death rate. The panic-stricken people seek to destroy her and she finds herself betwixt blood craving natives and demons chasing her through the realms. In the meantime, she is entangled within a concupiscent relationship with a prominent member of Wilzasp society and her love affair causes her to ponder the questions: Can a person truly change their nature? Can emotions blind reality? Is good and evil a distinctive definition or are there fine lines in which they blur into various shades of gray? Can love prevent you from seeing the inner demon in others? Is a spiritless world a realistic world?
