D'Artagnan must reunite the Four Musketeers on a mission for Cardinal Mazarin, prime minister to Anne of Austria and the young Louis XIV

A tale of the finding of a treasure that made a simple man the Count of Monte Cristo.

"Saint Bartholomew's Day 1572. Paris is awash with the blood of Huguenots slaughtered by order of Charles IX. Or perhaps of Catherine de Medicis, one of history's greatest monsters? Or the ambitious Duke de Guise? Or the Duke d'Anjou, soon to be the reluctant King of Poland? It takes an iron nerve and a cool head to survive. Young Henry of Navarre has both in abundance, but he has more: he has his Queen, the beautiful, cultured Margot who stakes all on love and remains defiant in defeat."--Cover
