Malefosse #15

A striking 2024 entry in the long-running historical series, Malefosse #15 carries the evocative subtitle "Margot!" and a cover by Brice Goepfert that immediately commands attention. A richly dressed Renaissance nobleman — resplendent in red and gold slashed doublet, feathered cap, and flowing cape — stands alone in a wintry landscape, his cane planted in the snow while a pair of wolves circle him with quiet menace. The contrast between that flamboyant courtly figure and the stark, bare-branched wilderness around him sets a mood of danger and elegance that feels entirely at home in Bardet and Mouvet's world of intrigue.
