Elric: Swords and Roses
Feared by enemies and friends alike, Elric of Melniboné walks a lonely
path among the worlds of the Multiverse. The destroyer of his cruel and
ancient race, as well as its final ruler, Elric is the bearer of a
destiny as dark and cursed as the vampiric sword he carries — the sentient black blade known as Stormbringer.
Del Rey is proud to present

infamous — creation. Here is the full text of the novel The Revenge of the Rose, a screenplay for the novel Stormbringer, the novella Black Petals, the conclusion to Moorcock’s influential “Aspects of Fantasy” essay
series and other nonfiction, and an indispensable reader’s guide by John Davey.
