L'âge d'or #2

The second volume of Cyril Pedrosa and Roxanne Moreil's medieval fantasy series arrives with a cover that pulls you immediately into its atmosphere: a lone armored rider on a pale horse surveys a vast crowd gathered around a burning pyre, all set against the looming silhouette of a fortress, while a second figure crouches half-hidden in the gnarled foreground trees. The deep crimson palette, threaded with the cold blue of shadow and the warm flicker of firelight, gives the whole scene an air of tension poised somewhere between ceremony and menace. Published by Dupuis under the Aire Libre imprint in 2020, L'âge d'or continues to establish itself as one of the more visually assured European fantasy works of its moment.
