Pavillon Noir #1

A striking split-world cover opens this French pirate saga from Corbeyran and Bingono: above the waterline, a tall-masted sailing ship cuts through stormy, moonlit seas beneath dramatic cliffs, while below the surface a human skull rests eerily among coral and sea life. Décame et de sang ("Of Scum and Blood") promises a world where the brutality of the golden age of piracy runs as deep as the ocean floor. Published by Soleil in 2011, this first volume of Pavillon Noir sets a vivid, atmospheric tone right from its haunting cover.
