Giles Kristian has written a pair of books set in the ECW, first one is called The Bleeding Land.

There’s obviously the Musketeer novels by Dumas. I’ve been recommended a more recent translation by Lawrence Ellsworth that retains a lot of character from the original French text that has been omitted from a lot of the English translations.

With Fire and Sword by Henryk Sienkiewicz might be worth a look. It’s the first part of a trilogy based in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. There’s a wargame by the same name too.
