“Book Descriptions:The Dreaming City is a novella written by Michael Moorcock, which first appeared in Science Fantasy issue 47, in June 1961. It is the first story to feature the character Elric of Melniboné. Note that there is a 1972 novel and 1982 graphic novel of the same name, both of them distinct from this novella.
Elric, rightful ruler of Melniboné, gathers a fleet of reaver ships to raid his own homeland, slay his cousin Yyrkoon, and reclaim his love Cymoril. With him, he carries the black magic passed down to him by his ancestors and his soul-devouring, rune-forged sword, Stormbringer.” DRIVE
