Les maléfices du Danthrakon #2

A striking deep-crimson cover sets the tone for this French-language series from Arleston, Gay, and Boiscommun, published by Drakoo in 2023. The cover poses a tantalizing question — "Jusqu'où iriez-vous pour être écrivain?" ("How far would you go to be a writer?") — as a wild-haired, red-maned figure clutches a smaller companion amid a flurry of scattered pages, with a grand cathedral silhouetted against a hazy cityscape in the background. It's a wonderfully moody setup that blends literary ambition with what promises to be a darkly enchanting story.
