April Book Club Pick
Magic and history collide in this story about the infamous Guy Fawkes, or more specifically, his son, Thomas. In this reiteration of Fawkes' plot to end religious persecution, the people of London are ruled by the color powers and the Stone Plague. Thomas hopes to bond with a gray mask so he can remove the stone that has invaded his body and will ultimately kill him, but when the day of his test arrives, Guy doesn't even show up. Thomas tracks down his father to demand a mask but discovers Guy has other plans: kill the king. In order to save his own life, Thomas must join forces with his father.
