His name is Charles Render, and he is a psychoanalyst, and a mechanic of dreams. A Shaper. In a warm womb of metal, his patients dream their neuroses, while Render, intricately connected to their brains, dreams with them, makes delicate adjustments, and ultimately explains and heals. Her name is Eileen Shallot, a resident in psychiatry. She wants desperately to become a Shaper, though she has been blind from birth. Together, they will explore the depths of the human mind -- and the terrors that lurk therein.

Awakening in an Earth hospital unable to remember who he is or where he came from, Corwin is amazed to learn that he is one of the sons of Oberon, King of Amber, and is the rightful successor to the crown in a parallel world. The details of the memory-challenged narrator''s life sprinkle slowly into view as Corwin bluffs his way back into his embattled, fiercely competitive family and Amber. Raging battles and a chess game of deceit and conquest within the clan, all accompanied by paranormal powers and fierce pride, flesh out the story.

"A mindbender of a book, and a treat for Zelazny fans." ALA BOOKLIST The Road runs from the unimaginable past to the far future, and those who travel it have access to the turnoffs leading to all times and places--even to the alternate time-streams of histories that never happened. Why the Dragons of Bel''kwinith made the Road--or who they are--no one knows. But the Road has always been there and for those who know how to find it, it always will be!

Having realized that he no longer wants the throne of Amber for himself, Corwin nevertheless confronts the villainy of his brother, Brand, the treachery of some unusual places and creatures, and the threat of rapidly approaching Chaos in an attempt to help his father, Oberon, King of Amber, to maintain the very existence of Amber by healing the Pattern.
