La Cité sans nom #2

The second volume of Faith Erin Hicks's La Cité sans nom arrives with a cover that sets an immediately tense mood: two young travelers — one clutching what appears to be a book, both looking wary — stand against a vast, golden-hued cityscape, while a fierce warrior woman looms large above them, sword raised in warning. Published by Rue de Sèvres in 2018, this French-language edition showcases Hicks's clean, expressive linework and a color palette that feels simultaneously warm and foreboding. If the first volume drew you in, this one promises the stakes are only getting higher.
