About

In an era where progress clashes with tradition, The Armor of Light transports you to Kingsbridge, England, at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. The Spinning Jenny has sparked a new age of manufacturing, transforming lives within a generation.

Amidst the unrest, four lives intertwine:

  • A mother's husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence, igniting a quest for justice.
  • A young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children, challenging societal norms.
  • A well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business, facing the harsh realities of commerce.
  • A ruthless man will stop at nothing to protect his wealth, no matter the cost.

All the while, war cries echo from France as Napoleon sets forth a violent plan to become emperor of the world.

As institutions crumble and the winds of change sweep across Europe, these characters must navigate a world on the brink of transformation. Will they rise from the ashes of war to rebuild a new future, or be consumed by the tides of change?

The Armor of Light plunges you into the battlefield between compassion and greed, love and hate, progress and tradition. Experience the seismic shifts of nineteenth-century Europe through the eyes of those who lived it.
