The first two novels in the series, "The Three Musketeers" and "Twenty Years After," set the stage for the third novel, "The Vicomte de Bragelonne."

The story involves power struggles, love affairs, and a mysterious prisoner who bears a striking resemblance to Louis XIV. The novel is split into multiple volumes, each with its own title. Overall, "The Man in the Iron Mask" is a thrilling tale of adventure, loyalty, and political intrigue set against the backdrop of historical events.
