It’s 1625 and the king of France is searching for members of his elite fighting force known as The Musketeers. Enter d’Artagnan, a young man from the outskirts of France, who has a heart of a lion and burning ambition to become one of the heralded guardians of the Crown. d’Artagnan’s road to becoming a Musketeer will not be easy– the Musketeers are the crème de la crème of the Kings fighting force and d’Artagnan must push himself to the limits if he wishes to join Porthos, Aramis and Althos. But are there darker forces at work threatening the safety of France and its people?
