Critics Review

“Martin and Xabier Etxeberria have done an amazing job creating this world by combining the Slavic ballads with the history of the Teutonic Knights and the Mongols…Aritz Trueba’s art is dynamic, full of action, and a lot of fun to look at…A beautiful book based on Slavic ballads. Highly recommended if you are looking for something fresh in your mythological stories.” * Rogue’s Portal *
