Elric

The Elric Saga, Part 1 (1984) by Michael Moorcock

Contains 3 novels: Elric of Melnibone, The Sailor on the Seas of Fate, and The Weird of the White Wolf

The tragic story of cursed, doomed Elric, one of my favorite anti-heroes.

Elric makes a series of bad decisions, mostly as a result of being manipulated by the forces of Chaos.

Elric kills his cousins, Yrkoon and Cymoril.

Elric and the demon-sword Stormbringer have a symbiotic relationship.

Some of the best sword and sorcery stories of all time, worth reading more than once.
