Princesse Sara #3

The third volume of Princesse Sara arrives with an air of intrigue, its subtitle Mystérieuses héritières promising secrets and hidden identities at every turn. The cover, by Alwett, Moretti, and Boccato, presents Sara herself in warm golden tones, holding a charming little monkey as rich red drapery frames the scene beneath an ornate hanging lantern — a tableau that feels both intimate and full of mystery. It's an elegant, warmly illustrated 2011 entry in this French manga-influenced series that fans of adventure and royal drama will find hard to resist.
