The Michael Moorcock Library Elric: The Balanced Lost Vol. 1

The very fate of the multiverse hangs in the balance, and only the combined might of the three Eternal Champions can save it.

For the first time ever, Elric, Corum and Dorian Hawkmoon must unite to save the cosmic balance between law and chaos.

When the delicate balance between the forces of Law and Chaos are threatened by a powerful malevolence of unimaginable power, Michael Moorcock’s enduring Eternal Champions, Elric of Melniboné, Corum of the Scarlet Robe and Dorian Hawkmoon must unite and do battle to save the Multiverse. From their ancient realms to modern-day New Orleans and across the Moonbeam Roads in search for the Horn of Fate, a device that will open portals to other dimensions the heroes set forth. Added in their battle by a new Eternal Champion from present day Earth, the heroes embark on a quest to find weapons powerful enough to defeat Beelzebub and together they journey to the very physical heart of the Universe in search of Ko-O-Ko, the Lost Universe, on a mission to restore the balance before all is lost.

Written by New York Times Bestseller, Chris Roberson, this all-new adventure redefines the word ’epic’. With a cast of hundreds and featuring all of Moorcock’s most famous characters, this saga, drawn by Italian artist, Francesco Biagini is a thrilling and powerful epic that brings Elric crashing into the 21st Century and beyond!
