Les 7 Vies de l'Épervier

In a sweeping historical epic spanning from Henri IV to Louis XIII, André Julliard chronicles the extraordinary destiny of Ariane de Troïl, whose life is upended by the assassination of her father. As she seeks to uncover the truth, the young woman becomes entangled in the political intrigues of her time. Amid conflicts between the Church and the nobility, Ariane crosses paths with the Épervier, a mysterious masked rider who defends the people, in a thrilling story filled with twists and turns. Universally recognized as one of the pinnacles of historical comic art, Julliard’s elegant artwork brilliantly serves the story, creating a series of remarkable historical authenticity. His fluid and delicate linework beautifully recreates the costumes, manors, weapons, and landscapes of the era, while the subtle and harmonious coloring further enhances the atmosphere of the seventeenth century.
