Publisher Description
Twenty years have passed since d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis outwitted Cardinal Richelieu and saved the honor of a Queen. Now, the year is 1648, and the fires of the Fronde are consuming France. The once-inseparable friends find themselves on opposite sides of a brewing civil war-Athos and Aramis support the rebellious nobles, while d'Artagnan and Porthos remain loyal to the young King Louis XIV and the calculating Cardinal Mazarin.
When a daring mission takes them to England in a desperate attempt to rescue King Charles I from the shadow of the scaffold, the four heroes must decide if their old bond is stronger than their new political loyalties. Facing the vengeful Mordaunt-the son of their former nemesis Milady de Winter-the musketeers must prove once again that "All for one, and one for all" is more than just a phrase; it is a way of life.
Filled with breathtaking swordplay, political intrigue, and the bittersweet weight of time, Twenty Years After is the masterful second installment of Alexandre Dumas's beloved Musketeer Cycle. It is a timeless epic about the complexity of friendship, the price of loyalty, and the enduring spirit of adventure.
