Synopsis
Swords clank, passions flair, villains scheme, and the good guys usually get the girls--and all the trouble that comes with--in Arturo Perez-Reverte's 17th-century Spanish adventure series. Captain Diego Alatriste might earn his bread by his sword, but his heart is tender and loyal, so when he inadvertently gets mixed up in a royal assassination attempt, Alatriste--along with his sidekick the feckless Inigo--must set things straight. Meanwhile political intrigue and romantic affairs constantly threaten to get the gallant pair in even more trouble.

Industry Reviews
"Perez-Reverte supplies a dizzying amount of action with a tantalizing dose of passion thrown in for good measure....Seventeenth-century Madrid has never been portrayed with such verve and dash."
(07/01/2009)

"It's elegantly written and filled with thrilling swordplay and hairbreadth escapes--escapist books don't get much better than this."
