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
the sixth and concluding installment of its definitive omnibus editions
featuring fantasy Grand Master Michael Moorcock’s most famous — or
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.
Sumptuously illustrated by John Picacio, with a Foreword by Tad Williams, Elric: Swords and Roses is a fitting tribute to the most unique fantasy hero of all time.
Michael Moorcock (born 1939) is a prolific English writer primarily of science fiction and fantasy. Moorcock's most popular works have been the Elric novels, starring the character Elric of Melniboné. In 2008 the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America named him as a Grandmaster of SF.
