Vasco #3

The third volume of Gilles Chaillet's Vasco series takes the young medieval traveler into the rich, turbulent world suggested by the title "De Byzantijnse." The cover — rendered entirely by Chaillet — places Vasco and a dark-haired young woman side by side against a dramatic backdrop of burning ships, billowing black smoke, and the unmistakable domed silhouette of a Byzantine city, their expressions tense with urgency as chaos unfolds behind them. It's a beautifully composed image that captures Chaillet's gift for grounding high adventure in historically evocative settings.
