Description

Confronting Destiny: The Collectible First DAW Printing of The Weird of the White Wolf

Secure a key piece of fantasy history with this March 1977 First DAW Printing of The Weird of the White Wolf. This pivotal novel is a collection of shorter, yet highly influential, works that propel the tragic saga of Elric of Melniboné, the brooding albino emperor.

This volume encapsulates some of the most famous and devastating moments in the Elric Saga, starting with the iconic novella, “The Dreaming City.” Here, Elric, consumed by grief and a sense of doom, leads an army of the Young Kingdoms against his own home, the ancient capital Imrryr, leading to its catastrophic destruction and an unwitting betrayal caused by his cursed blade, Stormbringer.

The novel continues Elric’s tormented philosophical journey as he grapples with the concept of destiny (“Wyrd”) and the ever-present chaos surrounding him. This volume is also notable for introducing the beloved character Moonglum, an adventuring companion who brings a touch of cynical levity to Elric’s grim adventures. A quintessential work of Dark Fantasy and Sword and Sorcery, this vintage DAW printing is a must-have for any collector of the Eternal Champion cycle.
