Amber is the one real world, of which all others—including our own Earth—are but Shadows.
Across the mysterious Black Road, demons swarm into Shadow. The ancient, secret source of the royal family's power is revealed, and an unholy pact between a prince of the realm and the forces of Chaos threaten all the known worlds with absolute obliteration. The hour of battle is at hand. Now Corwin and the remaining princes of Amber must call upon all their superhuman powers to defeat their brother-turned-traitor before he can walk the magical Pattern that created Amber and remake the universe in his own image.

Praise for The Chronicles of Amber
“...these fantasy adventures are [Zelazny’s] best work, they have earned him a whole new audience by virtue of their elegance, humor, literacy, vivid action and lightly applied but complex background of tarot, alternate worlds, Olympian gods, and magic.”
