Since time immemorial, the kingdom of Holmgaard has been populated by civilized beasts and animals of all types living far from the world of men. Here, the current ruler, the Bear King Von Noord, reigns as an enlightened lord. But this balance is about to be broken when Ifrit, a young human, is found stranded on the shores, claiming to return from the realm of the dead. Could he be the herald of the ancient prophecy which predicts the fall of the animal kingdom? For Von Noord, the situation is serious, especially since he is unaware that, behind his back, other dark schemes are at work... Between BLACKSAD and GAME OF THRONES, The Kingdom of Bears immerses readers in a polished fantasy universe more complex than it seems on the surface, where the portrait of humanity on the decline emerges behind the mask of the animal cast. A new anthropomorphic and audacious saga created with the signature creative instinct of Olivier Vatine and artist Didier Cassegrain.
