Les Lames d'Âpretagne #1

Two young adventurers — a fair-haired youth clutching a mysterious glowing orb and a dark-haired companion bearing a broadsword — stand ready against a swirling, snow-swept sky in this opening volume from Monin, Venries, and Courric. Le Tonnerre de Brest launches Les Lames d'Âpretagne with immediately appealing energy, the fur-trimmed travelers and wintry palette promising a sweeping Breton-flavored fantasy adventure. Published by Casterman in 2016, it's a visually confident start to what looks like a compelling series for fans of atmospheric European fantasy.
