Thomas Fawkes is turning to stone, and the only cure
to the Stone Plague is to join his father’s plot to
assassinate the king of England. Silent wars
leave the most carnage. The wars that are never declared but
are carried out in dark alleys with masks and hidden knives.
Wars where color power alters the natural rhythm of
17th-century London. And when the king calls for peace, no
one listens until he finally calls for
death. But what if death finds him
first? Keepers think the Igniters caused
the plague. Igniters think the Keepers did it. But all
Thomas knows is that the Stone Plague infecting his eye is
spreading. And if he doesn’t do something soon, he’ll be a
lifeless statue. So when his Keeper father, Guy Fawkes,
invites him to join the Gunpowder Plot—claiming it will put
an end to the plague—Thomas is in. The
plan: use 36 barrels of gunpowder to blow up the Igniter
King. The problem: Doing so will destroy
the family of the girl Thomas loves. But backing out of the
plot will send his father and the other plotters to the
gallows. To save one, Thomas will lose the other. No
matter Thomas’s choice, one thing is clear: once the
decision is made and the color masks have been put on,
there’s no turning back.
