The fast-paced plot of the tale takes place in Louis XIII’s royal court, where the swaggering King’s musketeers battle the fearsome Cardinal Richelieu’s crimson-clad guards. In the name of King Louis—and Queen Anne, who dares a secret love affair with France’s nemesis, England’s Duke of Buckingham—the Red Duke dominates France with an iron hand. The boisterous d’Artagnan, a young fighter from the provinces determined to gain fame and money in Paris, dives into this royal intrigue. Bold and astute, the young man soon finds himself up to his Gascon neck in adventure, winning the acquaintance of the Three Musketeers: noble Athos, sneaky Aramis, and the gigantic, good-hearted Porthos, the finest buddies in literature.
