Malefosse #2

Two figures — a younger man in ornate red-and-gold period dress and an older, weathered companion — sit together on rocky coastal ground, a fortified stone structure rising behind them against a pale, atmospheric sky. The cover art by François Dermaut brings a quiet intensity to this second volume of Les Chemins de Malefosse, balancing the grandeur of historical costume with a mood that feels genuinely contemplative. Published in 2021, this installment — subtitled "De moordaanslag" — promises the kind of richly drawn, grounded historical adventure that makes this series so compelling.
