Blackout - Arcadia, #2

WHAT WAS SHALL NO LONGER BE. WHAT WAS NOT SHALL NOW BECOME. Despite having the protection of the talisman and the Legion, a reforming force of warrior angels and elementals, guarding his every move, things are not looking good for Charlie Blake. Tasked with the responsibility of saving mankind, finding the four diamonds to restore the talisman is all he can think of, but when his prophetic visions start to invade his reality and he suddenly can't distinguish the dream world from the real world, the pending extinction of mankind becomes the least of his problems.
Everyone assumes Charlie's dormant powers are activating, until he starts showing symptoms of a deadly disease. With his nemesis, Gaddis, threatening the lives of his loved ones, he faces a race against time to locate the Stone of Raphael, the air diamond, before an imminent pandemic destroys civilization. As he ventures into dangerous lands once again, he unearths shocking revelations about his past life that forces him to question his allegiance.
With no one to turn to for answers, he can't help but wonder if his purpose is truly to save mankind.
