Malefosse #16

A striking winter scene sets the tone for "Sacrale," the sixteenth chapter of Bardet and Goepfert's long-running historical series. On the cover by Brice Goepfert, a rider in a vivid red coat and plumed hat advances on horseback through a snow-blanketed forest, while a fallen figure in ornate blue-and-gold clothing lies motionless on the frozen ground below. The stark contrast between the cold white landscape and those bold period costumes makes this 2024 entry from Daedalus an immediately arresting addition to the Malefosse saga.
