Durandal #3

The third chapter of Jarry and Lemercier's Durandal series pulls readers deep into the world of "Het Mark Bretagne" with a cover that crackles with desperate energy — a white-haired warrior in a red cape raises the legendary sword Durandal with a battle cry, surrounded by rune-carved standing stones and a looming dark presence pressing in from the shadows. John MacCambridge's artwork is striking in its atmospheric detail, blending misty forest gloom with the warm gleam of the ornate blade at the composition's heart. If you've been following this Carolingian-inspired saga, this 2012 Daedalus release promises to keep the tension wound tight.
