Artesia Afield #1

In "Who Kills a King," Artesia returns to her camp after ambushing a column of Düméghal scouts, bringing prisoners to assess the growing threat. As tensions rise, she gathers her officers to discuss strategy and spends the night honoring the festival of the love goddesses in a private gathering with three banner lords. Written and illustrated by Mark Smylie, this issue blends tactical tension with intimate moments, all rendered in Smylie’s distinctive style, with cover art also by Smylie.
