For the honor of the crown and the destiny of a country, the world's most renowned Muskettters must reunite for one last epic battle. It is a time of both splendor and despair for the deeply divided French nation where the self-serving King Louis XIV enjoys the riches of the world while his people starve. Believeing he is all-powerful, Louis fears no one--except the one person who could bring an end to his absolute power: the man he condemned to wear an iron mask and imprisoned for life. But when the king's selfish excesses go too far, retired Musketters Athos, Porthos, and Aramis vow to free the mysterious prisoner who may be France's only hope for survival. Only one question remains: will their old comrade, the legendary d'Artagnan, help them--or destroy them?.
