Description

*************************
UPDATE: Cover art for Vera Nazarian's book, Salt of the Air. Check it out on Amazon.

"Cautionary, sensual stories of love, reversal and revenge upend fairy tale conventions in Nazarian's lush collection... Sumptuous detail, twisty plots and surprising endings lift these extravagant tales."
— Publisher's Weekly

*************************

It's finally done! The mighty phoenix, King of the Birds. He is beautiful, powerful, and eternal. He is also prideful, and this flaw led him to challenge the ancient dragon, at whose claws he met defeat.

Yet he is immortal and forever aflame. One day, he knows, the dragon will falter, and the Bird King will rise from the ashes...

... etc. :)

Done in an eastern style, with peacock feathers courtesy of :iconmaplerose-stock: (whose beautiful white peacock photographs you should look at -- they are marvelous!).
