The Michael Moorcock Library, Volume 15

The Bane of the Black Sword is the sixth and penultimate volume in the saga of Elric and his terrible, soul-eating magical sword, STORMBRINGER.Collecting together the five interconnected novellas of the original novel, 'Old Wounds', 'Three Kings in Darkness,' 'The King Beneath the Hill,' and the 'Flame Bringers,' The Bane of the Black Sword continues the eternal struggle of Elric against the elder gods of chaos as he fights to bring Stormbringer home and perhaps find peace, at last, in the arms of his true love Zarozinia.In the last story in this collection – 'To Rescue Tanelorn' Elric's brother-in-arms, Rackhir the Red, is forced to travel through the five gateway realms in a quest to reach the Domain of the Grey Lords in search of aid to save the besieged city of Tanelorn from a horde of unimaginable evil."Once begun, this is a book that can't be put down until the last page, a sometimes surreal and often dreamlike interpretation." – Starburst"You must read the book and you should own this graphic novel... and all the successive tomes to come..." – Comics Review Adapted from the works of Michael Moorcock related to the character of Elric © 2022, Michael Moorcock & Linda Moocock.
