The Crimson Vault (The Traveler's Gate Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
The Grandmasters had mined the ore from Ornheim and forged the armor in Tartarus, so that it looked like gold, but was much harder and lighter. It even had the symbol of Elysia etched in the center: a winged sword, point-down, with a rising sun in the background. Alin thought the armor would make him look regal, like a warrior-king from the stories. But first, he had to put it on. “Excuse me,” the armorer said, from somewhere around Alin’s feet. “I’m sorry, sir, but could you please put the breastplate back?” “Just a moment,” Alin said. He turned the breastplate so it best caught a ray of sunshine through the high windows, gleaming like a fallen star. “I quite understand, sir, but please. It’s on my head.” Startled, Alin pulled the breastplate up. The armorer, who had been adjusting one of the many straps on Alin’s golden boots, was now crouched on the floor, peering up. Without even noticing, Alin had been resting the breastplate on the back of his skull. Alin flushed with shame and moved the breastplate aside.
