Comments: Queen Yishana pays a visit to Elric at his invitation. The atmosphere is one of dark times. The Queen needs Elric and his magic. The mission the Queen has for him involves a mysterious tower that appears out of nowhere. As they journey on, the threat this tower the Singing Citadel poses becomes more obvious. Elric abd Yishana do share a past. They both care about the other. Even so, the Queen is willing to use him.
The two entire this Singing Citadel and within it they find another plane of existence. Elric does use his magic here in a most unexpected way. Theleb K’aarna the Queen’s sorceror was jealous of Elric and that led to him seeking his death.
You will feel both sadness and joy for Elric within these pages. He has a beautiful Queen that loves him and he leaves her.
Who is the man following Elric and what are his intentions? Elric does need to watch himself as evil does seem to follow him.
Such sadness is here. Elric is a man alone. All he wants is peace and to be as human as he can be. Simple things yet so hard to achieve.
