Bookroo's summary

George Chapman faces a perilous quest in a war-torn London where statues come to life. With his friends captured and a curse threatening his life, George must complete three daunting challenges. As marble, bronze, and stone veins creep up his arm, he battles time and dark forces eager to exploit his power. Can George save his friends and himself before the curse reaches his heart? The stakes are high, and the path is fraught with danger, but George is determined to use his newfound abilities for good, even as others seek to twist them for evil.

From the publisher

Now that George Chapman has upset the fragile truce between the warring statues of London, he has been drawn into a war that will test his mettle. He and Edie, a glint who can see the past, may have succeeded in their quest to find the Stoneheart, but their journey is far from over. Edie and the Gunner, a statue of a World War I soldier, have been captured by the Walker, and it’s up to George to save them. But first he must deal with the three strange veins, made of marble, bronze and stone, that have begun to grow out of his hand and curl around his wrist. Legend has it that unless he successfully completes three challenges, the veins will continue up his forearm, and eventually pierce through his heart. As George struggles to find the strength within to face the choice he has made, to take the Hard Way, he is determined to use his power for good–even as others wish to harness it for its great potential for evil.
