Every Chapter, In Order

Paris, 1585 — forty-five Gascon guardsmen, a king under threat, and a reckoning years in the making, in eighty-nine chapters.

These eighty-nine chapters close out the Valois trilogy, following the real historical Forty-Five — Henri III's actual personal Gascon guard — through the real War of the Three Henrys as it builds toward open civil conflict.
