Noch einmal sind 10 Jahre vergangen – die drei Freunde Athos, Aramis und Porthos alt geworden. Aber es wartet noch ein letztes Abenteuer auf sie. Ludwig XIV. ist inzwischen an der Macht und führt ein sinnloses, ausschweifendes Leben auf Kosten seiner Untertanen. D’Artagnan ist sein Hauptmann. Gleichzeitig liegt ein geheimnisvoller Mann mit einer eisernen Maske seit 18 Jahren in der Bastille gefangen. Nur wenige wissen um seine Identität. Als der König die Geliebte von Athos’ Sohn zu seiner Mätresse macht, reift der verwegene Plan, Ludwig XIV. zu stürzen, und eine große Geschichte um Ehre, Liebe und Loyalität nimmt ihren Lauf.

Die Geschichte vom Waisenkind Philip Pirrip (Pip) und seinen großen Erwartungen fasziniert jede Lesergeneration.
