Boris Vallejo

The perennial fantasy favorite features thirteen all-new paintings from the husband-and-wife team of Boris Vallejo, America's premier fantasy artist, and Julie Bell, designer of the popular Dragons of Destiny sculpture series. Enter a world of mythical beasts, fearsome monsters, and dreamy landscapes conjured from the far reaches of the imagination. And captivating women, rendered with exquisite anatomical detail: A huntress aims with lethal accuracy. A goddess, hair flowing, leaps above the waves. Plus warrior women, enchantresses, fairies, and sensual maidens, all alive with passion and intensity. An original fantasy narrative by C. J. Henderson, author of the Teddy London series, weaves the paintings together.

WORLDS OF ENCHANTMENT

Dragons rise from subterranean depths. Mists swirl over the land. Forces clash. Fates are settled—with grimacing finality—at swordpoint. Sprung from the imagination, yet rendered with anatomical clarity and a masterful detail, here is a dramatic place of nightmare and beauty created through the soaring vision of husband-and-wife fantasy artists Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell. A beguiling philosopher-witch breaks free from her icy prison. A goddess and a serpent tangle under the water. A fire-breathing beast emerges from the abyss. A sensuous mermaid rests in a serene cove. Talons curl, tendons flex, and out of the eye, a gleam of shuddering intensity. Thirteen all-new paintings herald the year. Weaving the images together is the engrossing original story "The Games of Nod," by C.J Henderson
