Windrider's Oath - Wind Rider's Oath by Clyde Caldwell (2003)

Painted in oils by fantasy illustrator Clyde Caldwell in 2003, "Windrider's Oath" was commissioned as the cover artwork for the 2004 first hardcover edition of David Weber's high fantasy novel "Wind Rider's Oath", published by Baen Books as part of the War God (Bahzell Bahnakson) series. The scene depicts a dynamic, tense encounter in an ancient stone courtyard or temple complex, showcasing the protagonist's sword-wielding hradani companion Brandark dodging a flying projectile with his blade drawn alongside the War Maid Kaeritha, champion of the war god Tomanāk, as they confront treacherous forces in the Sothoii Empire.
