Elric Of Melnibone (Eternal Champion, #11) (Elric of Melniboné, #1) (Tale of the Eternal Champion, #8)

by Michael Moorcock

Elric of Melnibone is the haunted, treacherous and doomed albino sorcerer-prince. An introspective weakling in thrall to his black-bladed, soul-eating sword, Stormbringer, he is yet a hero whose bloody adventures and wanderings through brooding, desolate lands leads inexorably to his decisive intervention in the war between the forces of Law and Chaos. This volume brings together The Stealer of Souls and Stormbringer, the first two published books of Elric's adventures, and confirms Michael Moorcock's place as one of the most important fantasy writers of our time.

I was a bit disappointed we didn't meet Stormbringer until the very end. And there was just a hint of the role the greater powers might play in the rest of the books. But despite there being only a handful of words dedicated to each of them, the settings really stand out for me, and there's a lot of potential for interesting conflict between Elric, his sword, and his patron. Also I just love intelligent weapons.
