Cixi de Troy is a three-volume series that is part of the Troy universe. It tells the story of Cixi between volumes 5 and 6 of Lanfeust de Troy. The series was written by Christophe Arleston and drawn by Olivier Vatine. In this trilogy we learn what happens to Cixi between her hasty departure from the imperial city of Darshan (volume 5 of Lanfeust de Troy) and the moment when we find her in Eckmül, alongside Thanos.
The universe of Troy is made up of various series: Lanfeust of Troy, Trolls of Troy, Gnomes of Troy, Lanfeust of the Stars, The Conquerors of Troy, Lanfeust Quest, Legends of Troy, Cixi of Troy, Lanfeust Odyssey and, finally, The Warriors of Troy. Each of these series is scripted by Christophe Arleston but drawn by different authors.
