Perfect Shadows

by Dario Estrabao

The corridors of power are full of danger, intrigue, and drama, yet nowhere is this more evident than in the leaders, for “uneasy is the head that wears a crown.” We'll be covering sovereigns and rulers from all over the world and all throughout history, but we'll also take the time to touch on generals, religious figures, influential players, and even some fictional characters!
