The Red Sphinx, written by Alexandre Dumas in 1865 but largely overlooked for over a century, is a thrilling sequel to The Three Musketeers. Subtitled Cardinal Richelieu’s Heir, this novel takes readers back to 17th-century France, weaving a new story of political intrigue, romance, and adventure, with Cardinal Richelieu at its center. Unlike The Three Musketeers, The Red Sphinx focuses less on the original musketeers and more on the powerful and cunning Cardinal Richelieu. Dumas introduces new characters, including the courageous Count de Moret, an illegitimate son of King Henry IV, whose love story and daring exploits drive much of the plot. As Count de Moret falls in love with Isabelle, a beautiful but vulnerable woman, he becomes embroiled in Richelieu’s complex plans, navigating danger, alliances, and betrayal.
