Boy in the Iron Mask

Imagine being sixteen years old and having the power of life and death over twenty million people. Even better, imagine that THEIR money is YOUR money. All this is your reality if you're King Louis XIV. The boy-king of France loved spending other people's money; it was the one thing he was exceptionally good at. But what if you're Louis's identical twin? You're the boy in the iron mask, and your brother, the king, will never allow you to leave the Bastille prison alive. BOY IN THE IRON MASK is an easy-to-read re-imagining of Alexandre Dumas' outrageously long French classic. The action and intrigue in this version never slow. Swords and daggers (and let's not forget wire garrotes) lie hidden under every cape.
