商品簡介
A masked prisoner languishes in the depths of a forbidding fortress, his identity shrouded in secrecy, while the fate of seventeenth-century France hangs in the balance above. Within these shadowed corridors, political intrigue and royal identity mystery entwine, drawing readers into a world where every whispered rumour and clandestine alliance could tip the scales of power. The narrative unfolds against the grandeur and peril of the old regime, where court politics fiction meets the suspense of a prison escape story, and the ambitions of the European monarchy threaten to unravel a tapestry of aristocratic secrets. With an atmosphere thick with uncertainty, the story explores the dangerous games played behind gilded doors and iron bars alike. The plot's tension is heightened by the ever-present threat of exposure, as the protagonist's hidden past and the motives of those who guard-or seek to exploit-him reveal the fragile nature of authority and trust. This is a work that masterfully balances literary suspense fiction with the pulse of historical conspiracy, inviting readers to question not only the identity of the man behind the mask, but the very foundations of loyalty and truth in a world ruled by appearances.
