Servitude #3

The third volume of Bourgier and David's Servitude series arrives in 2011 with "L'Adieu aux Rois" — a title that carries the weight of endings and fallen power. Éric Bourgier's cover presents a weathered, contemplative warrior seated aboard what appears to be a Viking longship, its carved prow rising behind him against a misty castle silhouette, his expression one of quiet gravity rather than triumph. It's a beautifully composed image that promises a story steeped in medieval atmosphere and the melancholy dignity of men outliving their age.
