Die Chroniken des schwarzen Mondes #17

Die Chroniken des schwarzen Mondes reaches its seventeenth chapter with "Schlangenkriege" — and Olivier Ledroit's cover makes an immediate impression, depicting a towering armored figure wreathed in writhing serpents, lightning crackling across a stormy sky above a battlefield swarming with warriors and snakes below. The sheer scale of the image — from the churning mass of scales and soldiers at the base to the commanding dark presence at its peak — perfectly sets a tone of mythic, serpentine warfare. François Froideval and Fabrice Angleraud continue this long-running German-language fantasy series with this 2016 Finix edition, a handsome addition to any shelf.
