The official claim stated the priceless treasure was destroyed in the aftermath of World War II, but an obscure document in an East German file may tell another story for-The Amber Room. It was a legendary room an ensemble of precious eighteenth-century wall panels that graced a tsarist palace in St. Petersburg. Then it was stolen by Nazi invaders and carried off to a castle in East Prussia.

The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3)
From the very start of its very first scene, The Amber Spyglass will set hearts fluttering and minds racing. All we'll say here is that we immediately discover who captured Lyra at the end of The Subtle Knife, though we've yet to discern whether this individual's intent is good, evil, or somewhere in between. We also learn that Will still possesses the blade that allows him to cut between worlds, and has been joined by two winged companions who are determined to escort him to Lord Asriel's mountain redoubt.

NINE PRINCES IN AMBER is the first in the classic CHRONICLES OF AMBER, a series that exemplifies the Zelazny style, in which the first-person narrator, a tough-talking, ruthless (but essentially good-hearted) man must confront a menace from his mysterious past. A man with unearthly physical strength awakens as an amnesiac after an automobile accident. Gradually, he remembers that he is Prince Corwin, one of the many magical, long-lived members of the royal family of Amber. Amber is actually the real world, and all of the parallel worlds that flow from it are merely imperfect copies, or Shadows…including our own world.
