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\u2019t distinguish the dream world from the real world, the pending extinction of mankind becomes the least of his problems. Everyone assumes Charlie\u2019s dormant powers are activating, until he starts showing symptoms of a deadly disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">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<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019t help but wonder if his purpose is truly to save mankind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"color:#ff0000;\"><strong>On Sale for $3.99 for a limited time on Amazon!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>Buy Links:<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00NX25Y2Q\/?tag=cbc0d2-20\"> Amazon US<\/a> \u00a6 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B00NX25Y2Q\/?tag=cbc0f-21\">UK<\/a> \u00a6 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/gb\/en\/ebook\/blackout-t-o-e-trilogy-book-2\">Kobo<\/a> \u00a6 <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/blackout\/id1106576705?mt=11\">iBooks<\/a> \u00a6 <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Al_Stone_Blackout?id=7HMDDAAAQBAJ\">Google Play<\/a> \u00a6 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/blackout-alecia-stone\/1123727586?ean=9780957001954\">B&amp;N<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/13495579-blackout\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/10\/7e833-add2bto2bgoodreads2bblack.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/13419125-talisman-of-el\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2870 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aleciastone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Ground-Zero-eBook.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"363\" height=\"504\" \/><span style=\"font-size:18pt;\"><strong>Ground Zero<\/strong><\/span> <strong>T.O.E.

The line between good and evil is no longer as clear-cut as it used to be, especially when it appears Charlie&#8217;s destiny could very well be to destroy everything he loves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">Hero or villain?
