Two hundred years from the world of high fantasy, a different kind of world exists: where daring musketeers fight injustice in the name of the king, bold pirates claim riches with a blast of grapeshot, and matters of honor are settled at the end of a blade. It is the world of Errol Flynn and Alexandre Dumas, the world of Captain Blood and the Count of Monte Cristo. It is the world of swashbuckling . . . and now, it is open to you. Learn what it means to seek hidden treasure, to plot terrible revenge, to protect the innocent with nothing more than a quick tongue and a quicker sword. Sail with daring privateers in search of fabulous riches, plunder the wealthy as a charming highwayman, or thwart dastardly villains as one of the famous musketeers. From the halls of power where noble couriers plot endless intrigue, to the wharfside docks where vicious sailors will kill you for your boots, it's all waiting between these covers.
