Artesia by Mark Smylie
Epic fantasy with war and blood and ghosts and monsters and sex and murder and betrayal and religion and visions and violence and ladies with pole arms. What more do you want? Ok its also got wonderful crisp and clean art teamed with its high-stakes, large scale story. Its always good to find a fantasy series that doesn't feel like a rehash of someone's D&D campaign. I mean don't get me wrong. I love a decent D&D inspired fantasy as much as the next RPG nerd, but its still nice to have something with a creator not afraid to aim big...
