About the book

"Twenty years after" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a novel serialized from January to August 1845. D'Artagnan, still a lowly lieutenant after two decades, is summoned by the despised Cardinal Mazarin during France's brewing rebellion. Tasked with reuniting the legendary musketeers, he tracks down his old friends—now scattered across vastly different lives. As political turmoil engulfs both France and England during the English Civil War, the four heroes must navigate their conflicting loyalties and set aside their differences for one last mission.
