In 17th century Spain Diego Alatriste, a brave and heroic soldier, is fighting in his King's army in the Flandes region. His best mate, Balboa, falls in a trap and, near to death, asks Diego to look after his son and teach him to be a soldier.
A grim, blood-soaked journey through 17th-century battlefields. It feels like a veteran's weary recounting of brutal wars, where honor is a fragile shield against the relentless march of death and duty.
