The Wayman's Code: Darkness - The Wayman's Code, #2

The explosive sequel to "The Wayman's Code: Awakening"-a perfect fit for fans of Legendborn and Bleach. When light is removed, all that remains is darkness... a crouching, ravenous, darkness. Sixteen-year-old Maleek Warden never imagined that a strange realm would exist beyond his. Nor that he would be given the power to defeat the wicked spirits known as Shadiem, or that he would be able to wield fire.
And now, he needs that power more than ever. For in the aftermath of the attack on the Sanctuary and the disappearance of Christopher Lyles, Maleek and friends must both find him and recover the stolen sacred items in order to restore the light and protection to the region. And if that alone wasn't difficult enough:Chris' actions have drawn the attention of federal agents. Mysterious, supernatural blackouts plague the country.
And an underground society of masked cultists is making moves right under their nose. If Maleek and friends are going to restore the region and stay one step ahead of the shadowmen, Maleek just may need the secret help of a shadowman. or shadowwoman?And to make matters worse, Maleek can't help but sense that something has been wrong with him ever since the last battle at the Sanctuary. Almost like there is an indwelling presence.
One that is dark. cold. evil.
