What this book is about
Roger Zelazny's first Chronicles of Amber novel follows Corwin as he regains his memory and discovers he is a prince of Amber — the one true world — and that his siblings are embroiled in a war for the throne. The novel is a landmark of 1970s fantasy — compact, witty, and inventive. Violence in the family conflict is present throughout. Appropriate for adult fantasy readers.
