Elric
An ominibus edition of The Stealer of Souls and Stormbringer.
Elric of Melniboné, the haunted, treacherous and doomed albino sorcerer-prince, is one of the great creations of modern fantasy. An introspective weakling in thrall to his soul-eating sword, Stormbringer, he is yet a hero whose bloody adventures and wanderings lead inexorably to his decisive intervention in the war between the forces of Law and Chaos.
This volume brings together The Stealer of Souls and Stormbringer, the two earliest books of Elric’s adventures, and confirms Michael Moorcock’s place as one of the most important fantasy writers of our time.
