Blood Royal

Twenty years after the events of The Three Musketeers, France teeters on the edge of civil war during the Fronde. D'Artagnan, now a lieutenant of the King's Musketeers, is drawn back into court intrigue as he and his three old comrades reunite for a mission that takes them across the Channel to England, where they become entangled in the fate of King Charles I. Pursued by a vengeful adversary tied to their past, the aging Musketeers must call on skills and loyalties they thought were behind them.

This volume is Lawrence Ellsworth's translation of the second half of Dumas's Vingt ans apres (Twenty Years After), continuing the Musketeers Cycle begun in The Three Musketeers.
