Dierenriem #4

A young dark-haired woman in a pink coat clutches a book tightly to her chest as autumn leaves swirl around her in a park, the ghostly sigil of Cancer looming large in the overcast sky behind her — Thomas Ehretsmann's cover art carries a quietly unsettling mood that feels both grounded and otherworldly. This fourth installment of Corbeyran and Alexis Robin's Dierenriem series, "De erfenis van de Kreeft" (The Legacy of Cancer), promises the same blend of everyday atmosphere and zodiac mystery that makes the series so compelling. Published by Daedalus in 2013, it's a beautifully composed entry in this Dutch-language astrological saga.
