Plume aux vents

The series Plume aux vents consists of 4 volumes, starring Ariane de Troïl and directly following the 7 volumes of The 7 Lives of the Epervier, which is itself a prequel to Masquerouge. Other series will follow, as a total of 55 albums make up the Epervier saga.
Written by Patrick Cothias and illustrated (for the majority of the albums) by André Juillard, the series has enjoyed (and still enjoys) great success. Its historical accuracy, the high quality of Juillard's artwork, and the development of the characters make it one of the reference series in the world of comics.
The series Plume aux vents follows the adventures of Ariane de Troïl, just after her duel with Chevalier Condor, fought under the mask of the Epervier, which she survived despite her injuries. (End of Volume 7 of The 7 Lives of the Epervier - The Mark of the Condor)
Leaving behind her newborn daughter (future Anne de Lenclos), whom she had with her lover Germain Grandpin, Ariane sets off for New France (present-day Quebec) in search of the man she believes to be her biological father: Gabriel de Troïl.
There, over 4 volumes, she will experience extraordinary adventures in the Americas of that time, where the Iroquois adapted to the harsh conditions of life, while the "newcomers" struggled to survive as their numbers increased with each ship arriving from Europe.
Falling under the spell of Beau-Ténébreux, she pursues the man the Indians call Thunderbird, her father, through the landscapes of the Canadian Great North.
She will finally return to the lands of the Troïl castle after a journey that has made her a different woman...
