✦ Synopsis
Review
“[Elric is] among the most memorable characters in fantasy literature.”
–Science Fiction Chronicle
“The greatest writer of post-Tolkien British fantasy.”
–Michael Chabon
“Before Elric, my idea of a fantasy novel hero was a strapping fellow who rose from simple circumstances to lofty heights. Elric was decadent, sickly, and doomed. I loved him instantly.”
–from the Foreword by Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Spiderwick Chronicles
