Out of Darkness
About this ebook
Fifteen-year-old Tael is not your average slave. The Raxions may have stolen his sight and forced him into the mines, but he is more than just another cog in their war machine. He has an ability that makes him valuable—one the Raxions exploit. But he also possesses something far more dangerous, something that makes him their greatest threat.
When a daring escape throws Tael into the heart of the resistance, he faces an impossible choice: keep running and stay in the shadows or stand and fight. Betrayed by those he should trust and thrust into a war he never asked for, Tael must decide—will he embrace the power he never wanted and fight for freedom, or let the rebellion fall?
Fans of Red Rising, The Hunger Games, and Ender’s Game will love this high-stakes sci-fi adventure packed with rebellion, resilience, and the strength found in the darkest of places.
Perfect for readers who love:
✅ A unique, blind protagonist defying expectations
✅ High-stakes action & intense battles
✅ Alien oppression & a desperate fight for survival
✅ Political intrigue, betrayals & shifting alliances
✅ Found family & reluctant heroes
Are you ready to step Out of Darkness?

About the author
Hold onto your warp drives and wizard hats. Chuck Harrelson and Kerrie Flanagan are C.G. Harris, the award-winning coauthor team responsible for some of the most thrilling escapades in the multiverse! Together they take readers on a devilishly daring dive into the hellish world of "The Judas Files," a wild ride through young adult dystopia with "The Rax (Coming soon)," and a space pirate adventure full of cosmic swashbuckling action in the "Viraquin Voyage".
When they're not busy crafting the next great American novel or penning a haiku about the existential dread of Mondays, you can find them in the throes of what could only be described as a culinary Cold War, fiercely debating which is the superior pie, New York's big, floppy, fold-it-like-a-newspaper slice or Chicago's deep-dish cheese casserole with a crust?
To this day the debate remains unresolved. But in the heated exchange of doughy discourse, one thing becomes clear: when it comes to pizza, the only real winner is whoever gets the last slice.
The Nine, the first book in The Judas Files series, won the Indie Author Project regional book award for adult fiction for Colorado and was a finalist in the Book Blogger Novel of the Year (2021).
