    Summary

    Set after the end of my By Arrow and By North series.

    Two months into retirement, Athos and Claire have settled rather comfortably into life in the country. There are no secret missions, no court intrigues, and nobody is trying to kill them.

    There is, however, a horse race.

    Claire intends to win it.

    Summary

    Part XII of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    With the King’s health failing and the question of the succession growing more urgent by the day, Cardinal Mazarin entrusts Claire with a secret mission: escort the newly revised royal testament out of Paris and make certain it reaches its destination unseen.
    Simple enough. But Athos and the other Musketeers have learned by now that simple missions rarely stay that way.

    Summary

    Part XI of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    Easter celebrations are underway, and Paris has acquired a new, unexpected guest: Cardinal Mazarin’s nephew.
    Francesco Venturi is charming, ambitious, and almost certainly up to something. Claire’s task is simple: keep an eye on him at all times. The Musketeers are soon doing the same.
    Athos and Claire, meanwhile, are discovering that secrecy is much easier to tolerate in theory.

    Summary

    Part X of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    After five years of war, Claire and the Musketeers finally come home. The city they return to, however, is not the one they remember: young refugees are disappearing, the Red Guard rules by force, and something dangerous is taking shape in the shadows. The court, meanwhile, is too consumed by a power vacuum to act.
    Athos and Claire have found their way back to each other. Now they must discover whether there is room for them between the duties neither of them can leave behind.

    Summary

    Part IX of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    The Franco-Spanish War has been grinding on for five years. When the Musketeers are sent on a near-suicidal extraction mission deep inside enemy territory, Athos and d’Artagnan find themselves captured, imprisoned, and running out of time.

    Summary

    Part VIII of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    The purge has done its work. The Queen's network is gone, the Musketeers have fallen out of favour, and Cardinal Richelieu finally holds every card he has wanted for months.
    Claire d'Arville is given a choice that isn't one at all, weighed against the Queen's reputation, the threat of war, and the man she cannot afford to lose.
    Old reckonings, long delayed, are coming for both her and Athos at once.

    Summary

    Part VII of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    Nine months after the de Alarcón affair, a letter has gone missing from the Queen's chambers. Claire d'Arville has no choice but to come out of hiding to find it. The Musketeers, it turns out, are hunting the same thing, sent by Richelieu on a search he chose not to explain fully. Working together again feels dangerously easy.
    What troubles Claire most, however, is not the missing letter. It's the fact that Milady de Winter isn't looking for it.

    Summary

    Part VI of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    A valuable Spanish hostage has vanished from under the Musketeers' noses, and the diplomatic fallout is already underway. Richelieu wants results. Enlisting Claire d'Arville's help is simply the most logical course of action, and if Athos has his own reasons for agreeing, he keeps them to himself.
    The road from Paris to the Norman coast and back again will cost more than any of them anticipated. Some things cannot be buried deep enough.

    Summary

    Part V of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    The mission is simple: escort a thirteen-year-old Comtesse to the border, and Athos gets his reinstatement back after months of suspension. Four Musketeers, one translator, a pleasant trip through the French countryside. What could go wrong? As it turns out: drugged wine, a kidnapping, and a band of outlaws led by a teenage girl. Claire and Athos have survived worse. Neither of them is thinking about that night by the campfire. Obviously.

    Summary

    Part III of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    When a gunshot disrupts the royal celebrations, the court is quick to find its culprit: a Protestant fanatic, an attack on the Crown. Everyone agrees. Cardinal Richelieu is already making use of the outrage.
    Claire d'Arville doesn't quite believe the official version. Neither does Athos. Paris risks burning for a crime it doesn't understand, and they are running out of time to prove it.

    Part I of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    When the Musketeers are begrudgingly sent by Tréville to retrieve a sealed cylinder for Cardinal Richelieu outside Paris, they find themselves escorting a mysterious young woman through Spanish ambushes, coded Bibles, and abandoned monasteries.

    Part IV of my "By Arrow and By North" series.
    After his latest encounter with Milady, Athos has decided to focus on one thing: drink himself into a stupor. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. A clandestine meeting of Spanish spies, a tavern full of Red Guards, and Claire d’Arville caught in the middle of it all: in the space of a single night, the Musketeers find themselves accused of treason and become fugitives in their own city. All because of the woman Athos is trying very hard to stay away from.
