After the terrible Vom Syrus has finally been defeated, proving to the last doubter that he is the chosen one, Ralph Azham is appointed the new regent of the Kingdom of Astolia. However, barely crowned, his problems begin anew: delinquent taxpayers and the aggressive religious community of the mysterious Tilda Pönns are a huge annoyance! With volume 8, Lewis Trondheim plunges his hero into a new grand adventure, all while maintaining the rhythm and the ever-present humor that made the first narrative cycle a highlight of fantasy comics.
