Mara #2

The second chapter of Dark Dragon Books' Mara arrives in 2024 with a cover by Cosimo Ferri that sets a distinctly moody, sensual tone — a young woman with short purple hair, dressed in lingerie, fishnet stockings, and long gloves, is bound by rope against a stone wall with a checkered floor beneath her, her expression caught somewhere between defiance and distress. "Het theater van de verloren onschuld" ("The Theatre of Lost Innocence") promises exactly the kind of dark, atmospheric European fantasy that Ferri — handling writing, art, inks, and colors — delivers with confident, painterly style.
