Dior Knight and the Armory: Alters and Monsters
Confident but anxious Dior Knight is constantly thinking about his father. After he abandoned him at the age of six and his mother was placed in a mental institution, Dior has spent the last nine years at the most prestigious orphanage in Novas City, California, turning to comic books and the love of his two best friends, Logan Gold and Artemis Jennings, for comfort. When he comes across twelve year old artist Kairo Sears and saves him from being bullied, an experience Dior knows all too well about, Kairo invites Dior and his friends on a once in a lifetime trip around the world with his loving but absent father, Aaron.
Logan Gold isn't as confident as Dior and worries their group will split up once he leaves for college, leaving his longtime crush on Artemis unexplored.
Artemis loves being the smart, sensible girl of the group but questions her origins and longs for an answer to who she would have been had she not been left at the orphanage.
All Dior really wants is one final summer of fun with his friends before the future threatens to change everything. But when he is kidnapped and filled with energy from a dimension known as Otherness, he quickly realizes that being a real-life hero isn't as easy as the comics and movies make it seem. Why did the mysterious group only known as the Organization have him taken? Who is this Director that everybody seems to be so afraid of? And what does all of this have to do with Dior's Dad?
