Notes
"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."--
Keepers think the Igniters caused the Stone Plague; Igniters think the Keepers did it. But all Thomas knows is that it's 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 and blow up the Igniter King-- claiming it will put an end to the plague-- Thomas is in. 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 risks losing the other.
