By: Zachary M Nuben

An emotionally churning story that takes on the origin of free will.

Born Unto Darkness-Book One: Empathy is a thrilling tale built specifically to contort traditional beliefs in such a way it leaves the reader reeling in their own thoughts, hours even after putting it down. Blending subversive horror into a modern dystopian world that bleeds suffering into the reader's lap, daring them to return for more.

The religious world tires of the burden of temptation. Attempting to summon Lucifer himself to break The Eternal Contract, effectively erasing the sin of Eve, and with it, the root of all evil. As the world plunges into darkness, demons pour in from every corner. Left to ravage the planet by a god feeling betrayed by his own creation.

Elaina, a nurse turned combat medic along with a home grown military search and rescue officer, Marcus, must navigate a world hellbent on tearing itself apart. Their task proving more than difficult as newfound powers manifest within the population, threatening what little social construct yet remains.
