Paris, during the peaceful reign of King Henri IV, is a city simmering with deadly secrets, royal scandals, and shadowy conspiracies. In this thrilling seventh installment of Michel Zévaco's legendary historical adventure series, the cobblestones run red with blood and passion.
Enter Jehan the Brave: a fierce, peerless bravo and king of the Parisian underworld who fears neither God nor the devil. Abandoned as a child and raised by the sinister swordsman Saêtta, Jehan is a force of nature whose life is turned upside down when he falls desperately in love with the pure and innocent Bertille de Saugis.
But Bertille's breathtaking beauty has caught the eye of another-King Henri IV himself. Ignorant of a shocking truth-that the young girl is actually his own illegitimate daughter-the King seeks to conquer her, setting off a perilous clash of steel and wills. When Jehan draws his rapier against the King to defend Bertille's honor, it takes the intervention of a mysterious, sardonic older gentleman to avert a tragedy.
That gentleman is none other than the legendary Chevalier de Pardaillan.
In this volume, readers will discover:
A Secret Bloodline: Now in his sixties but still possessing invincible strength, Pardaillan fights side-by-side with the fiery Jehan, unaware that this intrepid youth is his own lost son-stolen decades ago as part of a cruel vendetta.
Treachery at the Louvre: Deep within the royal palace, the Queen's favorites, Concino Concini and the ruthless Léonora Galigaï, are plotting the ultimate treason-the assassination of the King of France.
A Vengeance Decades in the Making: Driven by the loss of his family to the ruthless Princess Fausta, Saêtta spins a web of deception to lead Jehan to a hidden royal treasure, only to plot his execution on the scaffold as the ultimate revenge against Fausta.
Unforgettable Swashbuckling Action: From a breathtaking two-man stand against fifty royal archers to a daring rescue from Concini's sinister clutches, the blades flash and the action never stops.
Filled with romance, mistaken identities, and political machinations involving historical figures like the assassin Ravaillac and the young Bishop of Luçon (Richelieu), The Son of Pardaillan is a masterpiece of classic French cape-and-sword adventure.
Will Jehan survive the snare laid for him by the man who raised him? Will Pardaillan discover the truth about his son before it is too late?
