Book Description
He should be dead a dozen times over. Evidently, fate has other plans.The year is 1631, and France lies in ruins after five long years under a devastating Curse. Its only hope-the magical bloodlines of a deposed queen in hiding, hunted by her enemies.Fleeing the carnage in Gascony, Charles d'Artagnan abandons the ashes of his former life to seek better opportunities in Paris. With his land gone and his family among the countless dead, he has nothing left to lose and little to gain beyond mere survival.Magic-once a useful tool for those rare individuals who still possess it-has become a weapon of incomparable power and destructiveness employed by France's bitter rival, Spain. With Louis XIII dead and a Spanish pretender seated on the throne, the country's future appears bleak.As one faceless refugee among many, d'Artagnan never expected to hold Europe's destiny balanced in his hands. He certainly never expected to be welcomed into an elite guard protecting France's one and only hope-a widowed queen wielding the same power as her enemies.But Anne of Austria's magic will be wasted unless d'Artagnan can help her stay one step ahead of the assassins nipping at her heels. Ultimately, he and his comrades must return her to the belly of the beast itself, confronting the very forces that have pushed France to the brink of destruction.The Mage Queen can't do it alone. But with the help of d'Artagnan and her loyal musketeers, France may still have a fighting chance.

Book Description
Pregnant, widowed, and in hiding, Queen Anne is reliant on a small band of loyal musketeers to protect her as enemies close in from all directions. But do they have a traitor in their midst? In an attempt to stay one step ahead of the assassins bent on Her Majesty's destruction, d'Artagnan joins his mentor, Athos, on a dangerous mission that will test both men's endurance and strength of will to the limit. Failure means the death of all their friends, and d'Artagnan is not prepared to lose his new family so soon after losing his old one. Gripping and dramatic, The Queen's Musketeers: Book 2 explores themes of loyalty and honor in a world where the motto of the day is "every man for himself."

Book Description
One for all. All for one. The year is 1631, and the Black Death has returned to Europe. France lies in ruins. The King and Queen are in hiding, and a Spanish pretender sits upon the throne. Charles d'Artagnan's family is dead. His land, seized by armed peasants. He's out for revenge, but at this point he'll settle for an honorable death. Instead, he finds adventure, intrigue, romance, danger, and a legendary brotherhood for the ages. Gritty and raw with an undercurrent of hope, The Queen's Musketeers: Book 1 is a very human reimagining of Alexandre Dumas' classic tale, set in a world driven to the brink of madness by plague and political upheaval. Author's note: This book contains graphic depictions of sex and violence, and includes descriptions of self-injury with religious connotations. It is intended for an adult readership.

Book Description
"All for one and one for all!"The young and headstrong D'Artagnan, having proven his bravery by dueling with each, becomes a friend of Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, members of the King's Musketeers. He is in love with Constance Bonancieux and, at her urging, he and his friends head for England to reclaim two diamond studs that the Queen has imprudently given to her lover, the Duke of Buckingham.Richelieu, the chief minister of King Louis XIII, will resort to anything - even murder - to stop the Musketeers from interfering with his plan to ruin Queen Anne's reputation, and her influence over the King.The Three Musketeers is one of the world's greatest adventure stories, and its heroes have become symbols of youth, daring, and friendship. Behind the flashing blades, Dumas explores the eternal conflict between good and evil.On the first Monday of the month of April, 1625, the market town of Meung, in which the author of ROMANCE OF THE ROSE was born, appeared to be in as perfect a state of revolution as if the Huguenots had just made a second La Rochelle of it. Many citizens, seeing the women flying toward the High Street, leaving their children crying at the open doors, hastened to don the cuirass, and supporting their somewhat uncertain courage with a musket or a partisan, directed their steps toward the hostelry of the Jolly Miller, before which was gathered, increasing every minute, a compact group, vociferous and full of curiosity.In those times panics were common, and few days passed without some city or other registering in its archives an event of this kind. There were nobles, who made war against each other; there was the king, who made war against the cardinal; there was Spain, which made war against the king. Then, in addition to these concealed or public, secret or open wars, there were robbers, mendicants, Huguenots, wolves, and scoundrels, who made war upon everybody. The citizens always took up arms readily against thieves, wolves or scoundrels, often against nobles or Huguenots, sometimes against the king, but never against cardinal or Spain. It resulted, then, from this habit that on the said first Monday of April, 1625, the citizens, on hearing the clamor, and seeing neither the red-and-yellow standard nor the livery of the Duc de Richelieu, rushed toward the hostel of the Jolly Miller. When arrived there, the cause of the hubbub was apparent to all.
