Elric of Melniboné — proud prince of ruins, kinslayer — call him what you will. He remains, together with maybe Jerry Cornelius, Moorcock’s most enduring, if not always most endearing, character…
Elric: The Moonbeam Roads is an omnibus of a revised & retitled supplementary trilogy to the main Elric Saga (with further, minor textual amendments) — in fact the only preconceived Elric trilogy (see below) — linking the albino with various von Beks. It was previously published (as an omnibus, in its original forms) as The Elric Saga Part IV (2005), before later being re-collected (with the revised texts but original titles) in The Elric Saga Volume Three: The White Wolf.
