Description
The Man in the Iron Mask is the final episode in the cycle of novels featuring Dumas' celebrated foursome of D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Thirty-five years after their first appearance in The Three Musketeers, the bonds of comradeship are under strain as they find themselves on different sides in a power struggle that may undermine the young Louis XIV and change the face of the French monarchy. In the fast-paced narrative style that was Dumas' trademark, the story pitches us straight into the action. The secret shared by Aramis and Madame de Chevreuse, the Queen Mother's fear of its revelation, and the mysterious prisoner in the Bastille are all part of a complex web of intrigue. As the plot unfolds, Dumas keeps us reading until the climactic scene in the grotto of Locmaria, a fitting conclusion to the epic saga of the musketeers.
