In one of the most well-known and well-loved fantasy epics of the 20th century, Elric is the brooding, sickly, albino emperor of the dying Kingdom of Melniboné. With Melniboné's years of grandeur and decadence long since passed, Elric's amoral cousin Yrkoon sets his eyes on the throne and plans a coup. Elric, realizing he is his country's best hope, must face his nefarious cousin in an epic battle for the right to rule.
Elric of Melniboné is the first in Michael Moorcock's incredible series, which created fantasy archetypes that have echoed through the genre for generations. The beautiful, vivid illustrations bring new life to the story and are sure to captivate fans, new and old.
