An example story in English, set in 17th-century France during the reign of Louis XIII, following the three Musketeers and the young Gascon d'Artagnan.
Paris, 1625. A young Gascon named d'Artagnan has arrived in the capital with dreams of joining the King's Musketeers, only to find himself already at odds with Cardinal Richelieu's agents and entangled in a plot that threatens the Queen of France herself. Athos, Porthos, and Aramis — three of the finest swords in the kingdom — have made the impulsive newcomer one of their own, and together they are drawn into a race across Paris and beyond to unravel a conspiracy of diamonds, secrets, and treason.
