The epic of the pale king with eternal youth and the black sword is brought into the world of comics by the team of French artists Julien Blondel, Didier Poli, Robin Recht, Jean-Luc Cano, and Julien Telo.
The second volume continues the story from The Ruby Throne, the first album, in which the renegade Yyrkoon escaped from Melniboné — and from the king’s wrath — taking Queen Cymoril with him.
When Elric of Melniboné discovers their hiding place, he sets out after them, and his inevitable confrontation with his traitorous cousin becomes yet another crossroads in the life of the cursed hero — perhaps the most decisive one of all.
This edition features a foreword by legendary British writer Alan Moore and also includes a section with character studies and storyboards by the creators of the series, along with illustrations of Elric by notable comic artists such as Guillaume Sorel, Dimitri Armand, Philippe Xavier, Eric Hérenguel, and others.
