Gargoyle-like figures observe the streets from the rooftops. Many of the huge warehouses have become hotbeds for sinister beings, only possible in a perturbed mind or directly extracted from atavistic terrors. Ironically, New York remains the emblem of the world. Decimated of inhabitants, decrepit and ruinous metropolis, yet at the same time infected by new residents impossible to define in waging the final war. At the heart of this fatal scenario: Luz, her sword Malefic, and lots of questions. Apocalypse is only the beginning of the most ambitious work by Luis Royo and Romulo Royo, who launch themselves into creating the fantasy universe of Malefic Time with three illustration books.
