Variant
Cover by ALBERTO VARANDA
No one knows why dragons have
appeared in this word of heroes, but their very presence is re-shaping reality.
Their influence destroys everything, transforming men and beasts into monsters:
a curse known as the Veill. Only virgin women are free of this curse and can
get close enough to these terrors to kill them. And so, the Order of the Dragon
Knights was created. Trained from childhood, they fight against all odds,
including a world that refuses to accept them as women of power, the very same
society they swore to protect. They fight to the death, because if they don’t,
their entire world is doomed.
