General Armistead Mason and John ' Jack' Mason McCarty are brothers-in-law, second cousins and descendants of founding father George Mason IV. When Armistead is challenged by corruption in the political machine and is denied a seat in the US Congress, the two become embroiled in a bitter dispute that sets in motion an irrevocable chain of events, leading them to the dueling grounds and an outcome that changes everything. Based on historical events of the 1819 Mason-McCarty duel, Masque of Honor is a story of courage, conviction, and the cost of sacrificing one life to forge another.
"Powerful and compelling. Her characters step off the page and into your life. " --Anthony McCarten, award-winning novelist and screenwriter known for writing biopics, including "The Theory of Everything" (2014), "Darkest Hour" (2017) and "Bohemian Rhapsody" (2018) "Sharon Virts is a natural storyteller and evocative writer with a keen eye for historical detail and drama. Set in 1816 and based on the true story of the rivalry between two Virginia gentlemen, Masque of Honor unfolds as an epic tale of romance, politics, ambition and power--and paying the ultimate price to defend one' s honor. " --Susan Koch, EMMY and Peabody award-winning filmmaker "Sharon Virts' debut novel carries us back to life as it was two hundred years ago in the new State of Virginia. Masque of Honor provides a spicy stew of ambition, envy, honor, courage--and love--as two brothers-in-law drive step by step toward an explosive choice. This is fascinating fiction based on facts, and Virts' writing will captivate readers. Pick it up and you won' t want to put it down!" --Pamela Binnings Ewen, author of The Queen of Paris, The Moon in the Mango Tree, An Accidental Life, and Faith on Trial
