A young girl with a rare gift makes one cut after the other to a priest to bleed him as painfully as possible. This is the introduction to a story by the bustling French scenarist Christophe Arleston<\/a> and skilfully staged by Adrien Floch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What begins with amazing brutality at the hands of the young Sangre<\/em> has a history that goes back years. Her parents, who were wine merchants, were massacred by the Dark Skimmers<\/em>, along with their caravan, in the fantastic world. The Skimmers use flying dragon creatures to attack their victims, slaughter them with magic and traditional weapons, and steal their belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The little Sangre can only barely survive the massacre and for her, as an orphan, a hard fight for survival begins. Over the years her will for revenge remains strong and she starts a hard training that prepares her for the confrontation with the murderers. She uses a magical gift, which she recognizes in herself, but which also makes her extremely vulnerable for a short time after each use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each of the 8-volume series, the innocent-looking Sangre takes on the gang of Dark Skimmers with immense cruelty, one after the other, who possess immense magical and natural powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
