| Publisher Description: The fifth novel in the adventures of Captain Alatriste, a seventeenth-century swashbuckler and "a twenty-first-century literary phenomenon"(Entertainment Weekly). In the cosmopolitan world of seventeenth-century Madrid, Captain Alatriste and his prot g igo are fish out of water. But the king is determined to keep Alatriste on retainer--regardless of whether his employment brings the captain uncomfortably close to old enemies. Alatriste begins an affair with the famous and beautiful actress, Mar a Castro, but soon discovers that the cost of her favors may be more than he bargained for--especially when he and igo become unwilling participants in a court conspiracy that could lead them both to the gallows. |
