Description:It’s the classic tale — but not exactly the way you remember it...Paris, France. 1625.A young woman named d’Artagnan bears the heart and the blade of a musketeer, but must prove herself before she can earn her rank and uniform.The spy and assassin Milord de Winter advances an agenda of villainy and unbridled ambition, and will destroy anyone who gets in his way.The so-called ‘three inseparables’ of the queens’ musketeers — the noble Athos, the forthright Porthos, and the gentle Aramis — bond in friendship and love with d’Artagnan. But for all three, that love will be tested by fate and the unforgiving past.The Queen Louise and the Queen Anne rule a France besieged by enemies — and threatened by Anne’s affair of the heart with the Duke of Buckingham.Monsieur de Treville, the captain of the musketeers, inspires the adulation of the soldiers who serve under him, and sees in the young d’Artagnan the potential for greatness.The Count de Rochefort, killer and kidnapper, shows off his villainy with a cool demeanor and a well-shaped mustache.Kitty, the young valet of Milord de Winter, quietly collects intelligence on the malign deeds of her employer but knows she dare not threaten his power — until meeting d’Artagnan gives her a cause worth fighting for.The young tailor Constance, agent of the Queen Anne, must navigate the dangerous ground of the queen’s forbidden romance — even as she navigates an unexpected romance of her own when d’Artagnan falls head over heels in love with her.And in the shadows, the Cardinal de Richelieu pulls the strings that control the fates of royals and assassins, lovers and soldiers, as their eminence seeks to control the future of France at any cost.Since its initial publication in 1844, The Three Musketeers has remained one of the most popular adventure novels of all time, inspiring countless editions, over a century’s worth of film and television adaptations, and any number of bold rewrites and reimaginings. For editor and author Scott Fitzgerald Gray, The Three Musketeers was very much the gateway narrative that opened up a young reader’s broad appetite for stories of action, adventure, history, and romance. But despite the general marvelousness of the novel that has been fueling the imaginations of readers and writers for more than a century and a half, it came to Gray’s attention that something was amiss in Dumas and Maquet’s exclusive focus on crafting their narrative around a bunch of straight white men — and that it was long past time for The Three Musketeers to take on a broader perspective.This book is not a brand-new novel. It’s not a rewriting of The Three Musketeers narrative slid over to a new milieu, or a new story inspired by the original. This is an edit and update of the full novel written by Alexandre Dumas, Pere, and Auguste Maquet — but with some subtle (okay; not-so-subtle) changes.This is the classic Three Musketeers, but populated by a more diverse range of characters in a seventeenth-century France where colonialism just somehow never existed. This is a book whose mix of queer, straight, cisgender, nonbinary, POC, and white protagonists are meant to reflect and connect with the widest possible range of the many readers who have fallen in love with this story over the years — and to invite a new generation of readers to fall in love with Dumas and Maquet’s timeless tale in a new way. This is a book very intentionally meant to draw the ire of those who like to scream about how historical accuracy in fiction means that all characters should be straight white men, and to encourage those people to understand that the real world has no need for them, and they should all just shut up.This is the story of d’Artagnan and Constance; Athos, Aramis, Porthos, and Treville; the Queen Anne and the Queen Louise; Milord and Kitty; Rochefort and Richelieu. Edited and updated from the William Robson translation by Scott Fitzgerald Gray (We Can be Heroes, the Exile’s Blade trilogy; editor for the fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game) and exquisitely illustrated by Aviv Or (Critical Role, Acquisitions Inc., Thornwatch, Up to Four Players), this is the story of a France that never was — but which will come to life for all time in the pages of this new edition.Bienvenue and welcome.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
