Following the terrible fate of Geoff the Geomancer during The Chaos Effect, the Earth must choose a new protector -- a new Geomancer. The Eternal Warrior, who has protected Geomancers for thousands of years, meets the Earth's choice, and finds someone unlike any Geomancer before. Will this new Geomancer appreciate The Eternal Warrior's protection, or will he rebel against Gilad's violent ways? "Awakenings" is written by Maurice Fontenot, with art by Rags Morales and Ken Branch. Wraparound chromium cover by Rags Morales.
