Mission in Paris - The Adventures of Captain Alatriste

The most dangerous mission is one that can change History.

"The twelve strokes of midnight were sounding on the clocks of Paris when four knights, as sure of themselves as the firm trot of their horses, entered through the Porte de Saint-Jacques." In the shadows of the dark night, Íñigo Balboa eagerly awaits the arrival of his mentor, Captain Alatriste. Almost a year has passed since they last met on a risky mission in Venice. Now, France is experiencing turbulent times. For several months, the Huguenots of La Rochelle, supported by the English, have resisted a harsh siege imposed by French forces under the command of Cardinal Richelieu. Alatriste and his companions find themselves embroiled in a dangerous secret mission conceived by the Count-Duke of Olivares, one of the most influential men at Court. This time, the objective is of such importance that the adventure awaiting them could forever alter the course of History.
