Princess Henrietta arrives in France to marry Louis XIV's brother and almost incites a war. While the men of the court duel each other over her affections, and Colbert and Fouquet continue their power struggle, Aramis hears a promising rumor. Will his thoughts come to fruition before D'Artagnan discovers his schemes? Upon her arrival, Princess Henrietta's wedding goes as planned. However, this does not stop the Duke of Buckingham, M. de Wardes, the Comte de Guiche, and Louis XIV from contending with each other to catch her eye. They duel, become injured, spread rumors, and even send love letters. In their escalating conflicts, Colbert persuades Louis XIV to ask Fouquet for larger and larger sums of money. Fouquet grants the king's requests but begins to run out of options and must eventually sell his wife's jewelry.

Meanwhile, Aramis has been currying favor with the governor of the Bastille. He hears an intriguing rumor about one of the prisoners and formulates a plan. How will Aramis use this new information? Ten Years Later is the gripping sequel to The Vicomte de Bragelonne and has all the political scheming, adventurous swordplay, and forbidden romance we have come to expect from the Musketeers.
