Teaser Tuesday: Legend

It is time for Teaser Tuesday, a weekly meme (what does that mean anyway??) hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading, where you open your current read to a random page and pick two teaser sentences.

This week's read:

"One of these is the Republic's flag, imprinted faintly against the metal.

Another is a small red number: 318."

So what are you reading this week?
