Bjorn le Morphir #4

A young, fair-haired warrior stands his ground at the center of a massive, grim-faced Viking horde — axes, spears, and weathered helmets pressing in from every direction — in this fourth volume of Thomas Lavachery and Thomas Gilbert's French fantasy series. The cover of Les Armées du Roi says everything with one quietly defiant image: Bjorn, small but unintimidated, surrounded by the king's armies. It's a striking visual promise from Rue de Sèvres that 2015's installment of Bjorn le Morphir has serious stakes on the horizon.
