Marie des Dragons #4

The fourth volume of Soleil's Marie des Dragons arrives with a striking cover by Thierry Démarez — Marie stands poised on the deck of a tall ship, sword raised and eyes fierce, smoke and rigging filling the amber-lit sky behind her. The chapter title "William" hints at a significant new presence in her world, while her silver-clad, battle-ready stance suggests the stakes are anything but small. Démarez's lush painted style gives the whole scene a cinematic warmth that makes this 2011 entry a genuinely compelling chapter in the series.
