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.
The Chronicles of Amber is a popular fantasy series by Roger Zelazny. The main series consists of two story arcs, each five novels in length. In the Amber stories, Amber is the only true world; all others, including our Earth, are but "shadows" of the tension between it and Chaos. A second world, the Courts of Chaos, is situated in Shadow at the very edge of Chaos itself.

All are opposed by him who was Siddhartha, who is now Mahasamatman, Binder of Demons, Lord of Light
