Summary

• With a picture of Alexandre Dumas, a detailed biography of him is added.


For eight long years, a young prisoner has suffered deep within the dreadful Bastille, his face hidden from all. He has no idea who he is or how he ended up in this situation. Aramis, one of the original three musketeers and one of France's best swordsmen, then bribes his way into the young man's cell to tell the awful truth. The exposure of this reality has the potential to depose Louis XIV, King of France—and Aramis intends to accomplish exactly that. Aramis' holy vow of "All for one, one for all" may be broken by a daring jailbreak, a magnificent disguise, and a violent war for the crown.
