In this fourth instalment, Captain Alatriste becomes involved in a
mission to save the King of Spain's gold... Swashbuckling adventure
and high octane action. The year is 1626, and a battle-weary
Captain Alatriste and his companions sail home from the on-going
war in Flanders. He returns to a Spain that is rotten to the core,
as gold from the Americas floods into the port of Seville, brought
by the country's infamous treasure fleet. As various factions
within the Court vie for supremacy, certain interests are creaming
off undeclared profits from the galleons' cargo, thus depriving the
royal treasury of its lifeblood. Indeed some of the booty is
finding its way into the hands of the same rebel provinces Spain is
fighting to suppress. The King and his most trusted advisor, the
Count-Duke Olivares, have become aware of one such plot and have
decided to teach the perpetrator a lesson. Once more, they must
call upon Captain Alatriste's blade in a dangerous adventure that
will bring the captain face to face with his nemesis, and with a
ruthless man who has designs on the throne...
