Outside the inn "The Painted Beard," the charming Count of Moray dismounts, and… right where The Three Musketeers ends, his own story begins…
The intrigues of the court continue, as do the exploits of the ingenious Cardinal Armand Jean du Plessis, Duke of Richelieu, with heroes like the dark Queen Anna, the melancholic King Louis XIII, and our new enchanting hero, the Count of Moray with his mysterious origins…
The Count of Moray arrives in Paris at a moment when the court is rife with conspiracies against Louis, who has succeeded his murdered father, the wise King Henry IV.
However, the only thing that seems to occupy the new king’s mind is his passionate love for a young man… while his wife, whom he refuses to touch, sees that she will never be able to bear children with this particular man, weaves a sinister conspiracy with the collaboration of even the queen mother!
Yet Cardinal Richelieu, the great figure of the Siege of La Rochelle, the great arbiter of France, the eye that sees all, leaves nothing to chance… A complex network of his spies will unveil the conspiracy to Louis, and the Count of Moray will stand by his half-brother's side…
