Elric of Melinbone (Elric Saga, Vol. 1)

Elric of Melinbone (Elric Saga, Vol. 1) by Michael Moorcock

From World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Moorcock comes the first volume in his Elric of Melnibone series, brought to vivid life with stunning illustrations.

It is one of the most well-known and well-loved fantasy epics of the twentieth century: the story of Elric, emperor of the dying kingdom of Melnibone. For a hundred centuries the Melniboneans have ruled from the Dragon Isle of Imrryr. Now, after years of corruption and decadence, Elric's amoral cousin Prince Yyrkoon, the brother of his beloved Cymoril, sets his eyes on the Ruby Throne. Elric must face his treacherous cousin not as a warrior but as a sorcerer king once again in league with the ancient gods of Melnibone, the Chaos Lords, and thus sealing his inexorable fate.

Elric of Melnibone is the first volume in Michael Moorcock's incredible chronicle, which created fantasy archetypes that have echoed through the genre for generations. The beautiful, vivid illustrations within by legendary artists Brom, Robert Gould, Richard Hescox, and John Picacio enrich this tale of a doomed empire anjd its eternal champion.

Volume one of the Elric Saga contains the first novels in the series: Elric of Melnibone, The Fortress of the Pearl, The Sailor on the Seas of Fate, and The Weird of the White Wolf. These stories are presented in a way they have never before been published in the United State -- in the order the author intended, and with his preferred text.
