“Moorcock sends his most famous creation, Elric, doomed Prince of the Black Sword (who last appeared in 2005’s The White Wolf’s Son), on a quest to find his roots…Readers familiar with the Elric saga will find much of the early brio retained, though the adventure is now tempered with brooding melancholia…Fans will find plenty that fascinates in this return to the long-running series.”
