In 1537, in the Jura, an envoy of the Church incites Catholic highlanders to pursue a young Protestant and his guide, Hans Stalhoffer, for taking a Bible translated into French to Switzerland. Two fugitives remain against thirty hunters, but Hans, a former fencing master to Francis I, is determined to stop being the prey.
The work was published in 2017 in a special large-format edition with black-and-white artwork and won the first prize at the 10th International Manga Award.
For fans of historical adventure comics, with chases, duels and the backdrop of the wars of religion.
