The Viscount and the Musketeers

Volume 1 of the French translation (by Laurent Barucq) of the novel The Rose Knight’s Crucifixion by Lawrence Ellsworth. Volume 2 to be published: The Richelieu conspiracy.

This novel with its original concept of interweaving takes place in parallel to that of The Three Musketeers so that it is recommended by the author to read alternately a chapter of Dumas’s work then the one corresponding to his own.

History: 1626. While d’Artagnan leaves his province, Louis d’Astarac, young Gascon viscount, also heads towards the capital to find a mysterious book containing the major secrets of the Rosicrucian brotherhood.
