The Michael Moorcock Library - Elric #6

In "Old Wounds," Elric is drawn into a web of intrigue when merchants from Bakshaan enlist him to settle a dispute—his true aim, however, is revenge against the sorcerer Theleb K'Aarna. As Queen Yishana maneuvers to reclaim Elric’s loyalty, old alliances and hidden agendas begin to surface, and the presence of Moonglum, Dyvim Tvar, and Nikorn adds tension to a journey already steeped in shadow and memory.

In the shadowed realms of sword and sorcery, a young woman seeking refuge from her past draws the reluctant attention of Elric, whose path crosses hers when she pleads for protection. With Moonglum at his side and the enigmatic Zarozinia watching from the edges, Elric and the girl set out toward the court of King Gutheran, where vengeance and ancient secrets await. The journey leads them through treacherous lands, where the weight of history and the pull of destiny test even the most cursed of souls.

Elric, now married to Zarozinia and having laid aside Stormbringer, finds his peace shattered when the city of Tanelorn faces annihilation by flame. With the help of Moonglum and the enigmatic wizard Drinij Bara, he must confront the ancient power of the Flame Bringers—though whether he can reclaim the cursed sword without losing himself again remains uncertain.
