It’s 1603, and Sir Thomas Percy can’t stay away from the Globe playhouse and the history plays London is mad for. Inspired by the warrior Hotspur in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, he joins a group of disaffected Catholics that includes the mysterious traveler Guido Fawkes and the rebel aristocrat Robin Catesby. Together they and the women who love them embark on a quest to destroy a Protestant king and return the nation to a mythic medieval past.

Review

In her latest and gripping historical novel, Gunpowder Percy, Grace Tiffany bring to life the events leading up to that fraught moment in 1605 when a group of disaffected Catholic gentry plotted to blow up the House of Lords, kill King James, and restore Catholicism to the land. It's a thrilling story, vividly and skillfully told. -James Shapiro Professor of English at Columbia University and author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare and The Year of Lear: Shakespeare in 1606
