Synopsis:
The Book of Angels shines a light on little-known facts of angel lore that have been hidden away for centuries. Brought to vivid life through Ruth Thompson's stunning full-color artwork, this angel guide, now in paper, presents otherworldly beings of awe, mystery, and power--from Lucifer, the Bringer of Light, whose ambition sparked the War in Heaven, to Uriel, the most formidable of angelic warriors, to Azriel, the fearsome Angel of Death. A special section on Angelic Lore recounts stories from the Bible, literature, and history.
