Ulrik von Bek is plagued by mysterious and disconcerting events: Having traveled to Canada with his beloved wife Oona, he is visited by a strange and youthful albino resembling himself. When Oona is abducted by a band of albino Native Americans, Ulrik trails the group by using The Skrayling Oak and soon finds himself in the multiverse where he is reconnected with his alternate self, Elric of MelnibonÈ. It is there that Elric/Ulrik discover that their arch-nemesis Gaynor, now ruling over a mob of outcasts, is behind Oona's abduction. And it is also there that they find themselves once again battling supernatural forces in the never-ending struggle between Law and Chaos that rages on in both their universes.
