In the dark recesses of the Bastille, a young prisoner known only as Phillipe has spent eight years of his short life. When Aramis, posing as his confessor, bribes his way into the prison, the truth about the man's identity is brought to light. It is a secret which, if revealed, could bring down the King of France, Louis XIV, whose corrupt rule is destroying the well-being of his country.
The ensuing jailbreak and the consequent struggle for power brings the musketeers into swashbuckling action, taking us back to the days of chivalry and making The Man in the Iron Mask one of the most enthralling historical romances in literature.

Alexandre Dumas was born in 1802, and escaped the hardships of his early life by joining the court of the future king, Louis-Philippe. He was a successful playwright, travel writer and author of children's stories as well as a novelist. Though best known for his historical fiction (The Three Musketeers, 1844, and The Count of Monte Cristo, 1845), other novels dealt with the French wars of religion and the Revolution. He died in 1870.
