Nine Princes in Amber
Cover Blurb
Roger Zelazny
AMBER
Here is the first novel in Roger Zelazny's classic Amber series. Amber, the one real world, of which all others - including our own Earth - are but Shadows...
NINE PRINCES
IN AMBER
Amber burns in Corwin's blood. Exiled on Shadow Earth for centuries, the prince is about to return to Amber - to make a mad and desperate rush upon the throne.
From Arden to the blood-slippery Stairway into the Sea, the air is electrified with the powers of Eric, Random, Bleys, Caine and all the princes of Amber whom Corwin must overcome. Yet his savage path is blocked and guarded by eerie structures beyond imagining... impossible realities forged by demonic assassins... and staggering horrors to challenge the might of Corwin's superhuman fury.

Here at last is the crowning finale to the incredible Amber saga, an action-charged adventure that plunges from realm to realm to unlock the mysteries of a breathtakingly imagined world.
