Patria

Set in a fantastical 16th-century Mesoamerica, Patria is a self-contained graphic novel from French publisher Ankama that reimagines the Spanish conquest through a lens of magic and resistance. The story follows a young indigenous woman whose village is destroyed, leading her on a quest for vengeance and to uncover the secrets of a powerful, ancient artifact. Written and illustrated by the acclaimed duo of writer Jérôme Lereculey and artist Jean-Luc Sala, this single-issue debut establishes a richly detailed world where history and fantasy collide.
