A Stepmother’s Märchen #2

The ornate, jewel-toned cover of this second volume sets a striking tone — a sharp-eyed young man in a formal dark suit shoulders a massive sword with quiet confidence, while armored figures and swirling baroque flourishes frame him against a backdrop of vivid green, crimson, and deep blue. Illustrator Orka brings a wonderfully detailed elegance to every corner of the image, from the silver filigree border to the scattered petals drifting through the scene. With story by Spice&Kitty, *A Stepmother's Märchen* Vol. 2 looks every bit as lavishly crafted as a dark fairy tale deserves.
