Can a mercenary be called a man of honour? It turns out that yes, when it comes to the protagonist of the popular historical adventure novel by Arturo and Carlota Perez-Reverte.

The brave soldier Diego Alatriste is in need after being wounded and is forced to accept dubious earnings. Having received another order, the captain unexpectedly finds himself in the midst of the dangerous intrigues of the Madrid court. And a sword is not enough - here you need to think quickly, and not betray yourself.

The vivid story of Captain Alatriste and his young servant Iñigo Balboa, set in Spain in the early 1620s, has gained many fans around the world and later inspired two film adaptations.
