During the Hundred Years' War, which spreads terror and horror across the land, a peculiar trio sets out in medieval France: a nameless and faceless knight, Anicet, who escaped death, and the young outcast Mariotte. When the three take a rest in the foggy forest and fall asleep, they find themselves in a dreamland where they must battle a powerful monster. Bourgeon's masterpiece is both a fantasy epic and a medieval fresco, a true classic that should not be missing from any comic book shelf.
