We've been treated to collections of Ciruelo's fantasy art over the last few years. Although he lives in Spain, he's exhibited at the last few San Diego Comic-Cons and continues to build a legion of fans, especially for his imaginative dragons.

Now he's created a full fantasy novella along with artwork that rivals the work of Michael Whelan and the Hildebrandt Brothers. You can enjoy this just for the full page, full color artwork. Or you can read it to get a very special story of a young boy who delights in drawing dragons and a young girl who talks to the fairies.

Together they must leave their village on a quest that takes them into the haunted mountains and meets the dragons, fairies, wizards and Amazonian warriors of their people's legends Can they save their peaceful valley from catastrophe? What is the true power of art?

This handsome hardcover is also beautifully designed, with exquisite embossing on the cover, a quality sewn binding and full color paintings on every page. A perfect gift for any lover of fantasy, ages 8 to 80.

From the creator of the bestselling Book of the Dragon, which Bud's Art Books also handles.
