About the series
In this four-issue series from Dargaud (2019–2022), writer Xavier Dorison and artist Joël Parnotte craft a richly detailed historical fantasy set against the backdrop of a crumbling monarchy. The story follows a mysterious woman, Aristophania, as she guides a group of children through a war-torn, magical version of 19th-century France. Known for its lush watercolor art and atmospheric storytelling, the series stands out as a compact, painterly epic that blends folklore with political upheaval.
