Synopsis
The story of the archangels is one of heroism and drama, and the world they represent is unlike any you know. The Book of Angels shines a light on little-known facts of angel lore that have been hidden away for centuries in forgotten books and histories kept from wide circulation. Boldly illustrated with Ruth Thompson’s stunning full-color artwork, this book shows you details of angel history and heraldry that have never been so vividly rendered, and that you cannot glean from traditional myths and legends. A special section on Angelic Lore is also included, which recounts stories from the Bible, literature, and history. This is your introduction to beings of awe and mystery, and a realm illuminated by their valor and magnificence.
