Le Crépuscule de Tellure #2

The second volume of Le Crépuscule de Tellure — "Le Duché de Richt" — arrives from Soleil with a cover that immediately establishes a world of political tension and faded grandeur. Three figures dominate the composition: an imposing elder in robes at the center, staff in hand, flanked by a younger, determined warrior on the left and a weathered, sword-bearing companion on the right, all set against ancient stone fortifications beneath a brooding, bird-darkened sky. Lassablière, David, and Malisan build on the series' rich fantasy atmosphere, promising intrigue within the duchy that gives this 2012 installment its name.
