Summary
A revolution requires ink for conscience, iron for courage and gall to rebel against your superiors.
For a thousand years, the Nova Marks bowed to a single dynasty of kings, but after a devastating war leaves the kingdom shattered and its heroes scarred, whispers of change stir beneath the smoke and ash.
Winston Somers, the son of a burgess and a bursar and dreamer of republics, forms a secret society hidden behind a dull facade: The Book Club. Its members include soldiers, judges, labourers, bureaucrats, academics, clerics and even a noble. Each one carries ink in their veins and revolution in their hearts.
However, revolutions rarely respect plans. When a careless blab ignites the flame too early, the Book Club must become more than readers of history. They must become its authors.
Ink is spilled. Oaths are broken. And the republic must be forged in iron and from gall … before it becomes ash.

Summary
The Revolution and Winston Somers' Book Club were more than idealists who met in secret. Well, they were, but each reader, each revolutionary had origins akin to the saints. Each came from a different walk of life, a different story, a different upbringing, but were united by one man who dared to dream.
