In the reign of Louis XIII, young d’Artagnan travels to Paris determined to join the king’s musketeers and quickly becomes inseparable from Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Their duels and adventures draw them into the struggle between Queen Anne of Austria and Cardinal Richelieu, particularly a dangerous intrigue involving the queen’s diamonds and the Duke of Buckingham. Dumas combines swordplay, friendship, romance and court conspiracy in a story shaped by the politics of seventeenth-century France.
