This is third volume in newly adapted Elric saga. Same as previous two novels art is amazing and story is somewhat adapted and not exactly in line with the nature of Elric as we came to knew him from novels.

He is still morose, lacks actual sympathy for the Young Kingdoms and tries to battle the Stormbringer sword's extremely insidious nature (I mean it is a sword, right, not a toothpick - but this one aims to corrupt its wielder which is not something swords are supposed to do .... as far as I know).

While on a run, Elric, now known to the rest of Young Kingdoms as White Wolf gets involved with the person from his past and learns a thing or two about the burden of fate.

And when we think that our hero finally manages to escape the danger absolutely unexpected twist occurs. I wont go into details because ending shocked me (and got me searching for the original novels to compare) and would be a huge spoiler to mention it.

Excellent graphical novel, beautiful art and new (and, in my opinion, original) twist on the story itself.

Highly recommended to all fans of fantasy in general and Elric's saga in particular. ( )
