De Orde van de Drakenridders #15

Book 15 of De Orde van de Drakenridders — subtitled "De Vijand" — opens on a tense and richly drawn scene: a red-haired warrior in dark armor kneels in chains on a stone floor, clearly a captive before an imposing court of turbaned and armed figures, while a white-haired woman sits subdued nearby. The atmosphere of subjugation and latent danger crackles across every inch of Boutin-Gagné's detailed linework, with the watching crowd and a sword-bearing guard making it clear that whatever fate awaits these prisoners, it will not come easily. This 2016 Silvester release from the long-running Dutch fantasy series promises high stakes and an unforgettable confrontation with "the enemy" of the title.
