1625. After his tussles with the Inquisition and the intrigue of the Spanish court, Captain Alatrist has returned to the mud and desperation of the long war in Flanders. But as Spain sinks ever further into depravity and corruption, the soldiers have not been paid and must survive by whatever ways they can. Mutiny is in the air, and on the lips of every Spaniard. But they are strong and their famous iron discipline has brought them many victories against the forces of the heretics. Reputation, honour, and the glory of Spain will keep them in the fight, but for how long?
"A dramatic novel of war and honor that marks the return of Arturo Perez-Reverte's most beloved character, Captain Diego Alatriste, the seventeenth-century sword-for-hire who leads his formidable band of soldiers in the name of King Philip IV of Spain against the Dutch in the battle for Flanders. As Spanish blood spills into the Flemish canals, and the lethal flash of swordplay drains the men of their thirst for victory, unrest grows among the troops. With no promise of payment from the king, Alatriste is caught in the impassioned throes of mutiny, torn between fealty to the material needs of his men and his pledge to a crown for which he holds no love."
