La Vénitienne #2

Against a burning amber sky filled with swooping birds, a barefoot young woman in a flowing white dress strides confidently forward, sword in hand, with the unmistakable domes and façade of St. Mark's Basilica rising dramatically behind her — it's Venice rendered as both a living backdrop and a stage for something thrilling. La Vénitienne: La Demoiselle du Grand Canal is the second volume in this French-language series by Ordas and Gnoni, published by Bamboo Édition under their Grand Angle imprint in 2015. The cover alone promises a story where beauty, history, and steel share equal footing on the canals of the Serenissima.
