The story serves as an introduction to the world of Erondà r. It follows Ian Aranill, a "Dragonero"—a sort of special forces agent/bounty hunter in a high-fantasy setting. Unlike the gritty western noir of Tex or the horror of Dylan Dog, Dragonero is unapologetic High Fantasy. It draws heavy inspiration from Tolkien but filters it through the modern, fast-paced storytelling sensibility of Bonelli’s 2000s era. true to the title "Romanzo" (Novel)
The narrative is dense; true to the title "Romanzo" (Novel), this isn't a quick 64-page read. It offers a sprawling introduction to the lore, the political factions, and the bestiary of the world. For fantasy fans, it is a solid entry point, though traditionalist Bonelli readers might find the shift in genre and pacing jarring compared to the publisher's usual crime/mystery fare.
Created by Luca Enoch and Stefano Vietti, with stunning art by Giuseppe Matteoni and others, Dragonero (originally titled Dragonero – L’ascesa di Draquir) tells the story of Ian Aranill, a former ranger of the empire of Erondár, who fights alongside his elven friend Gmor and the fierce warrior Myrva against ancient evils, dragon-like creatures called Alani, and the corrupt forces of magic and power.
The first album, "L’ascesa di Draquir" (The Rise of Draquir), sets the tone: a dark, nuanced fantasy world where heroism is costly, and the line between good and evil is rarely clear.
