책소개

Milady’s reign of deception ends in trial, as the Musketeers and their allies bring her to justice. Her execution marks a moment of reckoning, not only for her but for D’Artagnan’s soul. Despite victory, the cost of vengeance weighs heavily—Constance is lost forever. The war concludes, but peace is bittersweet. D’Artagnan rises in rank but finds little comfort in power. Each Musketeer reflects on loyalty, honor, and the scars of their journey. In their farewell, they are no longer carefree adventurers but men shaped by love, loss, and war. The tale closes, but their brotherhood remains immortal.

저자(글) Auguste Maquet

Auguste Maquet (1813–1888) was a French novelist and playwright, best known as the principal collaborator of Alexandre Dumas. He played a crucial role in crafting the plots and drafts of Dumas' famous works, such as The Three Musketeers and The Man in the Iron Mask. Though regarded as a masterful storyteller, his name often remained in the shadow of Dumas. Born in Paris, Maquet had a deep passion for literature and history from an early age, which vividly shines through in his writing. He skillfully blended historical facts with fiction to create gripping narratives. While most final publications carried only Dumas' name, Maquet's contributions were essential to their success. In his later years, he published numerous historical novels and plays independently, establishing himself as a distinctive writer. His work significantly influenced the development of French historical fiction and continues to be appreciated today.
