"There are no limits to the will―and the strength―of this unique female hero," Tamora Pierce, writer of the Song of the Lioness and the Protector of the Small quartets, remarked. One for All is a gender-bent retelling of The Three Musketeers, in which a girl with a chronic illness trains as a Musketeer and uncovers secrets, sisterhood, and self-love.
Tania de Batz feels most herself with a sword in her hand. Everyone thinks her near-constant dizziness makes her weak, nothing but "a sick girl." However, Tania wants to be strong, independent, a fencer like her father―a former Musketeer and her greatest champion. Tragically, Papa is brutally and mysteriously murdered. His dying wish is for Tania to attend finishing school. But L'Académie des Mariées, Tania soon realizes, is no ordinary finishing school. It is a secret training ground for new Musketeers: women who are socialites on the surface, but strap daggers under their skirts, seduce men into giving up dangerous secrets, and protect France from downfall. And they don't shy away from a sword fight.
With her newfound sisters at her side, Tania feels that she has a purpose, that she belongs. But then she meets Étienne, her target in uncovering a potential assassination plot. He's kind, charming―and might have information about what really happened to her father. Torn between duty and dizzying emotion, Tania will have to decide where her loyalties lie…or risk losing everything she's ever wanted.
Lillie Lainoff's debut novel is a fierce, whirlwind adventure about the depth of found family, the strength that goes beyond the body, and the determination it takes to fight for what you love. The author's note about her personal experience with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome adds a poignant layer to the narrative.
In summary, this gender-bent retelling of The Three Musketeers follows Tania, a girl with a chronic illness, as she trains to become a Musketeer, uncovers secrets, and navigates the complexities of duty, family, and self-discovery. Lainoff's work celebrates the resilience and determination of the human spirit, showcasing the limitless potential of a unique female hero.
