Part two of the original Chronicles of Amber is a good continuation of the classic “Nine Princes in Amber”. Corwin’s story follows his journey to Avalon, a shadow realm that he once ruled. Many years have passed since he left and now he is remembered as a demon prince. People do not named their children after this ruler from the past. He pretends to be someone else. He meets up with and befriends a soldier from his old army. Another one of the main characters is Dara (the granddaughter of one of Corwin’s brothers). Dara is a kindred spirit to Corwin. He sees many of his traits in her. All she wants to do is go to Amber, walk the Pattern, and gain the abilities that her family possesses.
