Decades after the adventures of The Three Musketeers, d’Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis are older men serving different loyalties in the court of Louis XIV. The sprawling novel moves through royal romance, political rivalry and the consolidation of the young king’s power, while old friendships are strained by conflicting duties. Its later episodes include the imprisonment of a mysterious masked captive and the final campaigns of the musketeers, bringing Dumas’s long cycle toward its tragic conclusion.
