Elric and his constant companion Moonglum return in this new stand alone novel set within the early days of Elric's wanderings. They ride again to investigate the history of their empire, Melniboné, and its dragons, known as the Phoorn, in this exciting new addition to the Elric Saga from World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Moorcock. The estranged emperor of the Melnibonéan empire, Elric is struggling with his nature and the constant thirst of his soul-sucking sword, Stormbringer. He wants his dying empire to thrive, but is he up to the task of renewing his failing people? Recruiting his best friend Moonglum, he hunts across his lands for the great Citadel of Forgotten Myths, seeking the answers to the nature of the dragons of The Young Kingdoms, and hope that the decline can be averted. But others have their own plans, and the journey will not be easy. Taking place between the first and second book in the Elric Saga, The Citadel of Forgotten Myths is perfect for longtime fans and those new to this epic fantasy series.)
