"All whom Death uses, are Death."
Such are the Companions of the Dusk, led by a nameless, faceless knight, on the trail of a macabre destiny which traces its way through Francois Bourgeon's mesmerizing trilogy set in Medievel Europe at the time of the Hundred Years War.
As the companions descend into the dark labyrinth of the Misty Forest, their fate takes on a bizarre complexion. Lost in dreams and mazes, they fall under the spell of a race of grimacing, rhyming goblins, in a Lillliputian nightmare. In this topsy turvy carnival, appearance and reality are little more than jokes...
Death dwarfs these human combatants in every way, but Bougeon's triumph is to reveal the richness and humor of life amid this grim tableau.
