It's 1605, and England is riven between Catholic and Protestant. An aristocratic group of religious fanatics has recruited a mercenary, Guy Fawkes, to strike at the heart of the English Government. But under the rule of the new King James I, no one can be trusted. This thriller weaves together the lives of kings and terrorists, priests and spies.
