Almostdead, he is rescued from Sachsenhausen concentration camp by two unknownfigures -- an Englishman called Bastable and an albino girl, Oona. Withthem, he journeys to a strange, underground world. And there he meets afigure known to him only from dreams, in which they are somehow the sameperson, yet separate: Elric of Melniboné .

As their stories intertwine, von Bek comes to know of Elric's past, andtheir very beings become one. Sometimes Elric is in control, sometimesUlric, and the neverending struggle between Law and Chaos must be foughtin both their universes.
