| Monsieur Martin Marie Rigobert de Ganache, a brave Parisian gentleman, is sent by his queen to rescue a young girl, Valerie, from the clutches of the Marquise of Condillac. Undertaken at first because it was ordered by the queen, he completes the rescue for the sake of the fair, proud girls who faces danger and death as intrepidly as he does himself.. One man against many, he plays his gallant game and fights his reckless fights. Once he barely escapes from the chateau with his life, and despairing of rescuing the girl by himself, searches out her fiance, only to find that his young man has brought back and Italian bride with him. So Garnache returns, determined now to win both her freedom and her heart. Monsieur de Garnache, that lean, hard man of too many fights and hasty temper, is in his way as fascinating as Scaramouche himself. Swift action, color, danger, love and courage -- here Sabatini once again shows himself the great living master of the historical novel. |
