Le vicomte de Bragelonne, Tome III.

In the twilight of Louis XIV’s reign, the splendor of Versailles masks a king whose hurried steps betray a restless mind. The seasoned musketeers—d’Artagnan, Porthos and the loyal Planchet—find themselves drawn into the monarch’s private worries, as love, pride and political ambition clash within the gilded halls. Amid witty banter and whispered counsel, the court’s glittering façade begins to crack, revealing the fragile humanity behind the Sun King’s majesty.

Yet the king’s personal turmoil sparks a web of intrigue that threatens to undo the fragile peace. d’Artagnan receives a clandestine commission, while Porthos, ever proud, confronts his own doubts, and the ever‑resourceful Planchet navigates the maze of courtly plots with characteristic cunning. Listeners will be drawn into a tale where loyalty is tested, secrets linger in shadowed corridors, and the legendary camaraderie of the three musketeers faces its most delicate challenge yet.
