Sheïd #1

A brooding, dark-haired adventurer perches atop a fortress wall, gazing out over a sun-drenched desert cityscape while fantastical sailing ships drift through the amber sky around him — Philippe Pellet's cover immediately establishes a world where the line between sea and sky has dissolved entirely. Published by Splitter Verlag in 2022, Sheïd: Die Falle von Mafat announces itself as a European fantasy series with a richly atmospheric visual sensibility, blending Arabian Nights aesthetics with airborne adventure. If you're drawn to sweeping world-building and elegantly rendered exotic horizons, this opening volume looks like a very promising journey.
