A major new translation of a forgotten classic

Paris, 1793, the onset of the Terror. Brave Republican Maurice rescues a mys-terious and beautiful woman from an angry mob and is unknowingly drawn into a secret Royalist plot—a plot revolving around the imprisoned Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, and her enigmatic and fearless champion, the Knight of Maison-Rouge. Full of surprising twists, breakneck adventure, conspiracies, swordplay, romance, and heroism, The Knight of Maison-Rouge is an exhilarating tale of selflessness, love, and honor under the shadow of the guillotine. Dumas here is at the very height of his powers, and with this first and only modern translation, readers can once again ride with the Knight of Maison-Rouge.

Praise for The Knight of Maison-Rouge

"This translation by Julie Rose marks the first time the book has appeared in English in almost 100 years. So for contemporary readers, this is almost like being given a new Dumas novel. If you are not jumping up and down at this point ... well, you're probably not someone I'd care to have a drink with...I'll repeat myself: A new Alexandre Dumas novel! That, dear reader, is a precious gift. ...vintage Dumas...as thrilling and readable a historical romance as you're likely to find." - Salon.com
