MOORCOCK
THE DREAMTHIEF’S DAUGHTER
Translation Thomas Mastakouris
In interwar Germany, the shadow of Nazism spreads rapidly. Count Ulric von Bek, the last scion of an ancient German family, learns that Hitler and his occult associates want something of his: the Ravenbrand, a relic that seems to them to be of the greatest importance.
His refusal to hand it over to them will lead him to the terrible concentration camps and from there to the underground states of Hollow Earth, along with Oona, who claims to be the daughter of a dream-stealer.
He soon realizes that the conflict in his world mirrors another, much larger one, the age-old battle of Law and Chaos – and that, alas, the Nazis are on the side of the Law. Moving from dimension to dimension, experiencing terrible dangers, von Bec will eventually meet a strange doppelganger, with whom he will fight Law but also Chaos, as one body with two souls. This double is none other than Elric of Melnibone! Together they will face the dark Prince Gaynor, the dreaded Mistress Mingea, and the Nazi hordes.
An adventure of the Eternal Champion in his myriad incarnations, as only Michael Moorcock knows how to write.
