The destroyer of his cruel and ancient race, as well as its final ruler, Elric is the bearer of a destiny as dark and cursed as the vampiric sword he carries\u2014the sentient black blade known as Stormbringer.<\/p>\n Del Rey is proud to present the sixth and concluding installment of its definitive omnibus editions featuring fantasy Grand Master Michael Moorcock\u2019s most famous\u2014or infamous\u2014creation. Here is the full text of the novel The Revenge of the Rose, a screenplay for the novel Stormbringer, the novella Black Petals, the conclusion to Moorcock\u2019s influential \u201cAspects of Fantasy\u201d essay series and other nonfiction, and an indispensable reader\u2019s guide by John Davey. <\/p>\n Sumptuously illustrated by John Picacio, with a Foreword by Tad Williams, Elric: Swords and Roses<\/span> is a fitting tribute to the most unique fantasy hero of all time.<\/p>\n Moorcock<\/a>, Picacio<\/a>, and Elric! ’nuff said.<\/p>\n Be sure to check out this gallery of Picacio’s magnificent illustrations<\/a> from Elric: Stealer of Souls<\/span><\/a> (Volume One of the series).<\/span><\/p>\n \n The Iron Palace: The Shadowed Path: Book 3<\/span><\/a> Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n BLOOD WILL TELL<\/p>\n Seventeen years have passed since Yim, an ex-slave blessed by the benevolent goddess Karm, sacrificed her body\u2014and perhaps her very soul\u2014to Lord Bahl, avatar of the evil Devourer. In that selfless act, Yim stripped Lord Bahl of his power but became pregnant with his son. Now that son, Froan, is a young man. And though Yim has raised him in the remote Grey Fens and kept him ignorant of his past, the taint of the Devourer is in his blood.<\/p>\n Even now an eldritch call goes out\u2014and the slumbering shadow stirs in Froan\u2019s blood, calling to him in a voice that cannot be denied. Armed with a dark magic he barely understands, Froan sets out to claim his destiny. When Yim seeks to stop him, her sole hope is that Honus\u2014the love she abandoned\u2014will take up the sword again for Karm\u2019s sake and hers. Only then can she hope to face the impregnable bastion of unspeakable evil: the Iron Palace.<\/p>\n \n Star Wars: Red Harvest<\/span><\/a> Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n The era of the Old Republic is a dark and dangerous time, as Jedi Knights valiantly battle the Sith Lords and their ruthless armies. But the Sith have disturbing plans\u2014and none more so than the fulfillment of Darth Scabrous\u2019s fanatical dream, which is about to become nightmarish reality.<\/p>\n Unlike those other Jedi sidelined to the Agricultural Corps\u2014young Jedi whose abilities have not proved up to snuff\u2014Hestizo Trace possesses one extraordinary Force talent: a gift with plants. Suddenly her quiet existence among greenhouse and garden specimens is violently destroyed by the arrival of an emissary from Darth Scabrous. For the rare black orchid that she has nurtured and bonded with is the final ingredient in an ancient Sith formula that promises to grant Darth Scabrous his greatest desire.<\/p>\n But at the heart of the formula is a never-before-seen virus that\u2019s worse than fatal\u2014it doesn\u2019t just kill, it transforms. Now the rotting, ravenous dead are rising, driven by a bloodthirsty hunger for all things living\u2014and commanded by a Sith Master with an insatiable lust for power and the ultimate prize: immortality . . . no matter the cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s take a quick look to see what\u2019s arrived at the Geek Compound.
