Book Description
“The stories here are the raw heart of Michael Moorcock. They are the spells that first drew me and all the numerous admirers of his work with whom I am acquainted into Moorcock’s luminous and captivating web.” –from the Foreword by Alan Moore, creator of V for Vendetta When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero–weak in body, subtle in mind, dependent on drugs for the vitality to sustain himself–with great crimes behind him and a greater destiny ahead: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the sixties into one enduring archetype. Now, with a major film in development, here is the first volume of a dazzling collection of stories containing the seminal appearances of Elric and lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist John Picacio–plus essays, letters, maps, and other material. Adventures include “The Dreaming City,” “While the Gods Laugh,” “Kings in Darkness,” “Dead God’s Homecoming,” “Black Sword’s Brothers,” and “Sad Giant’s Shield.” An indispensable addition to any fantasy collection, Elric: The Stealer of Souls is an unmatched introduction to a brilliant writer and his most famous–or infamous–creation. “The most significant UK author of sword and sorcery, a form he has both borrowed from and transformed.” –The Encyclopedia of Fantasy From the Trade Paperback edition.

Book Description
Elric of Melniboné sat high on the ruby throne in the great city of Imrryr as Emperor, but not all were satisfied with his rule. As an albino, Elric was mistrusted and weak, using the blood of human slaves to give him strength. Cymoril, his cousin, lover and queen, ruled by his side, though her brother Yyrkoon was full of contempt for Elric and plotted to overthrow him. Failing to do so, Yyrkoon kidnapped Cymoril, and in his rage, Elric summoned the Lord of Chaos, Arioch, paying for his service with the souls of his slaughtered people. Using Arioch to guide him, Elric took an army across the Young Kingdoms to search for Yyrkoon and his beloved Cymoril. But their party was manipulated by the elemental Kings of the Sea and the Earth, and most died at their hands. Resolute in his goal, and intent on defying prophecies that he would destroy his people and kill the woman he loves, Elric found Yyrkoon, who immediately murdered Cymoril. To save her life, Elric defeated Yyrkoon with the sword Stormbringer, given to him by Arioch. But there was a price. Elric was consumed by the cursed sword, needing souls to feed on. Fearing the prophecy would now come true, he left Melniboné in the hands of Yyrkoon, with Cymoril distraught and cursing his name. For years, the White Wolf lived in a self-imposed exile. With his trusted companion, Smiorgan, Elric sought to reunite two ancient spirits, which led him to a desolate and destroyed Melniboné. Before he could understand what had happened, the arrival of dragons revealed the oncoming fleet of the new Empress, his former love, Cymoril…
