Italy, sixteenth century. An orphaned orphan, Raphael, who has become a master of the blade in the family of a gunsmith, feels that he was born for something more sublime. In his heart, his dream is to discover the secret of his birth by all means. But a fateful duel greatly complicates his plans, and a fateful love becomes his guiding star. The young man goes to the main Babylon of Europe, the center of passions and intrigues - in Paris. It is there he waits for the solution to the mystery, which will be the most terrible trap in his fate.
The next volume of "Masters of Adventure" includes a novel by Ponson du Terrail "Gunsmith of Milan". This episode from the days of Catherine de Medici's youth is one of the overtures (and there are several) to the future epic of the writer about the friends and foes of the eternally young King Henry of Navarre. The novel is also one of the books whose original title, The Cloak and Sword, gave its name to the entire historical-adventure genre. The edition includes three dozen original illustrations.
