St. Martin's Summer is a fictional novel written by an Italian-British writer Rafael Sabatini. An heiress's life is in jeopardy, and her only chance of survival is to put her faith in the wits of a middle-aged swordsman who has no use for "women's troubles." The book is set in France and because Marie de Medici is the regent, it is considered to have taken place between 1610 and 1617. The story showcases insouciant banter, sword fights, disguises, leaps from castle windows, and the resurrection of the dead. Some of the other gems of Rafael Sabatini are The Lovers of Yvonne, The Tavern Knight, The Shame of Motley, The Lion's Skin, and many more such novels.
