Captain Alatriste by Arturo Pérez-Reverte
In the twilight of Spain’s Golden Age, Captain Diego Alatriste—soldier, swordsman, and reluctant hero—finds himself navigating the treacherous politics of Madrid’s royal court. Hired to perform a secret task for powerful patrons, Alatriste is swept into a web of intrigue, betrayal, and honor. Told through the eyes of his young squire, Captain Alatriste is a swashbuckling historical adventure rich with duels, conspiracies, and the faded grandeur of 17th-century Spain. Arturo Pérez-Reverte captures the spirit of classic adventure tales with dazzling style and unforgettable characters.
