This is a realm where castles can stretch a mile into the sky, where spells can give life to steel, and where eldritch battles can devastate entire nations. Eye of the Wolf is the first installment of a saga that will take readers across EBERRON, and allow them to view the wonders of this world in an entirely new way,” said Keith Baker, writer. “ Chris Lie's work on the book is amazing; he really brings the setting to life, and it's wonderful for me to see things that have only existed in my mind brought forth into reality.”<P> “It is a pleasure to work with an established writer and creator like Keith Baker,” said Chris Lie, penciler. “From artistic standpoint, it is a treat for me to be involved in building a relatively new world and designing the characters in EBERRON.”<P> • ABOUT EBERRON: EYE OF THE WOLF (Cover A - JUN063047E, Cover B - JUN063048E) – EBERRON is a sprawling realm fueled by magic-powered technology—coming to comics for the first time in an all-new tale by EBERRON’S creator, Keith Baker!
