A new story arc inspired by Tanith Lee

This morning I remembered a story I read as a child, written by Tanith Lee: Volkhavaar. To me it was a rather strange story, very different from the usual fantasy stuff  was reading at that time. Combined with the feature that the german issue sported a picture that later on reminded me of Elric, although vaster the differences between Volk, the slave and sorcerer/priest and Elric, the emperor and sorcerer, barely could be.
