Michael Moorcock's Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress Preview

 

Elric feels an absence where his heart should be. As he travels through the Young Kingdoms, he cannot forget his beloved Cymoril. Nor can he forget seeing a stately tower topple as Imrryr fell. While Cymoril returns to him in his dreams, his country of Melniboné is lost to him forever.

Elric recently braved a tower that appeared and disappeared throughout Queen Yishana's land. Now, he seeks Theleb K'aarna, the sorcerer who summoned the Singing Citadel. Will Elric's black sword Stormbringer drink Theleb K'aarna's soul? And can Elric find love again, and a new place he can call home?

returns in this sixth instalment of the graphic novel adaptations. 

 

 

Elric of Melniboné returns as a shred of the man he was in this new graphic novel adaptation of Michael Moorcock’s most legendary character.

 

With stunning art by Valentin Sécher and brilliantly adapted by Julien Blondel and Jean-Luc Cano, Elric’s story continues in volume 6 of this graphic novel series.

 

After the events in The Necromancer, Elric travels throughout the lands in search of The Fortress of the Dawn, the last bastion of law that stands before the world of chaos. Seeking out the Empress of the Dawn, Elric and Moonglum find themselves set against Theleb K’aarna, a shaman hellbent on usurping Elric’s tie to Arioch, Lord of the Seven Darks.

 

With a small army in his way, Elric must battle the evil of chaos as well as the temptation of the mighty Stormbringer, Elric’s black blade of chaos incarnate.

 

Illustrated by Valentin Sécher of Khaal and The Metabaron Books and written by the skilled Julien Blondel and Jean-Luc Cano, the writer behind the award-winning videogame Life Is Strange, Elric of Melniboné sets out to fight a war against the machinations of an evil shaman.
