Elric of Melnibone is by Michael Moorcock. The first book in the classic Elric Saga fantasy series. Elric is the albino emperor of the dying kingdom of Melnibone. When Elric's cousin seizes his kingdom, Elric must set out on a quest to find his cousin, free his love, and save his kingdom. This is absolutely a classic of the Sword and Sorcery genre. A must read for all fantasy fans. I read this many years ago and it feels a little dated, but is still a great fantasy saga and worth the read. The foreword by Neil Gaiman is a great introduction to this series.
Ratings: 10th grade - 7 out of 10 - AC (mature thematic content) - V (violence).
