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?

 
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.

“…Violette Reid's, The First Chronicle of Zayashariya is without a doubt one of the most original novels I have read in the last seven years…Reid's novel is very interesting and beautifully narrated. Out of Night may indeed have its flaws but there's no escaping the fact that it's still a great book and Violette Reid is definitely an author to look out for. Bring on the second chronicle.”
 

Mysterious, sensual, and thrilling... this book will overwhelm your senses.  A superbly written blend of fantasy and spirituality; Out of Night was completely mesmerizing.
