Intrigue and betrayal, duels and battles, love and hatred set the stage for the adventures of Captain Alatriste.
In His Majesty's service, a proud soldier in Flanders and in times of peace, a hired sword in Madrid and Seville. He wasn't the most virtuous of men, nor the most devout, but he was a man of valour. His name was Diego Alatriste!
Alatriste is in love with the beautiful María de Castro, the most famous actress of her time. Compelled to fulfil the final wish of his dying friend, Alatriste makes his way back to Spain to care for the man's young son Iñigo. Alatriste attempts to safeguard Iñigo both from a military career and from the Machiavellian woman he loves, the sweet and disturbing Angelica Alquézar.
