The novel follows the aging musketeers—d’Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis—as they become entangled in a daring conspiracy involving a mysterious prisoner hidden away in the Bastille. Aramis, now a powerful bishop, discovers that the prisoner is Philippe, the twin brother of King Louis XIV. Believing Philippe to be the rightful king, Aramis devises a plan to replace Louis with his brother. However, the plot is uncovered, leading to tragic consequences for those involved. As the story unfolds, themes of loyalty, betrayal, and fate dominate the narrative, with d’Artagnan forced to navigate his duty to the king and his friendships.
