In Stormbringer, did you enjoy ...

... complex, morally gray protagonists?

The Black Company by Glen Cook

If Elric's tormented, morally conflicted nature drew you in, The Black Company will captivate you with its band of mercenaries, whose shifting loyalties and questionable ethics echo Elric's own struggles. You'll find yourself invested in Croaker and his comrades as they navigate murky allegiances and the grim choices of war.

... dark, mythic fantasy and tragic anti-heroes?

The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson

If you loved the dark, mythological undertones and the tragic fate entwined with Stormbringer, The Broken Sword delivers a Norse-inspired tale of doomed heroes, cursed weapons, and ancient magic. Skafloc's journey is as harrowing and fate-driven as Elric's, full of pathos and epic conflict.

... dark, brutal tone and anti-hero protagonist?

Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence

If the bleak, violent world and Elric's ruthless decisions kept you turning the pages, Prince of Thorns will grip you with its unforgiving landscapes and the uncompromising, morally complex Jorg Ancrath. Expect graphic violence and a protagonist who constantly challenges the boundaries of heroism.

... richly detailed and imaginative worldbuilding?

Perdido Street Station by China Miéville

If you were fascinated by the lush, bizarre landscapes and unique cultures surrounding Elric, you'll be absorbed by the wildly inventive city of New Crobuzon in Perdido Street Station. Miéville's world is bursting with strange magic, weird science, and unforgettable settings.

... anti-heroes and the subversion of fantasy tropes?

The First Law by Joe Abercrombie

If you were drawn to Elric as a tormented anti-hero who often subverts traditional roles, The First Law introduces you to characters like Logen Ninefingers and Sand dan Glokta, who are as flawed and compelling as Elric himself—expect plenty of dark humor, grim choices, and characters who blur the line between hero and villain.
