Amid the turmoil of mid‑17th‑century French politics, a devoted band of forty‑five guardsmen is assembled to protect the queen mother and her minister from assassination and conspiracies; through espionage, daring rescues, duels and tangled romances, loyalties are tested and betrayals exposed as the fate of the court and the young monarch hangs in the balance.
