Het epos van de Vrijmetselaars #8

The great pyramids of Giza loom through a haze of smoke and desert dust on Julien Delval's striking cover for this eighth chapter in Het Epos van de Vrijmetselaars, subtitled "De droom van het oosten." A column of Napoleonic-era soldiers marches beneath the ancient monuments, their tricorn hats and regimental flags catching the warm light, while a mounted officer on a white horse surveys the scene with unmistakable authority. Writers Jean-Christophe Camus, Jeanine Erades, and Tonio van Vugt, paired with artist Denis Falque, bring the Freemasonry epic to Egypt in this 2023 installment from Dark Dragon Books — an evocative meeting of Enlightenment ambition and one of history's most enduring mysteries.
